The Browns’ offense has shown promise early, though their opening drive ended with a missed 47-yard field goal by Dustin Hopkins. Winston has started strong, completing four of his first five passes for 107 yards, with Moore and Jerry Jeudy each recording 44-yard receptions. The run game is averaging four yards per carry on six attempts, aiming to maintain balance against Denver’s formidable defense.
