The Denver Broncos strengthened their playoff hopes as they won 41-32 in a thrilling clash with the Cleveland Browns.
Jameis Winston’s fourth touchdown pass had put the Browns 32-31 ahead midway through the fourth quarter after overturning a 21-10 deficit.
Wil Lutz put the Broncos back ahead with a 27-yard field goal and cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian sealed the win as he returned an interception from Winston 44 yards for a touchdown.

The win takes the Broncos to 8-5 and in the heart of the AFC wildcard race.
McMillian’s finish left career-best performances by Browns quarterback Winston and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in the shade.
Winston threw for a franchise-record 497 yards and four touchdowns on Monday while Jeudy managed nine catches for 235 yards and a touchdown against his former club.
Winston also threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for scores – the first from 71 yards by Nik Bonitto.
Opposite number Bo Nix threw for 294 yards with two interceptions and a 93-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims Jr.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
