Jameis Winston sets new Browns single-game passing record vs Broncos
Add Jameis Winston to the Browns record book.
On Monday night in Denver, Winston broke the single-game passing yards record for the Browns.
The record-breaking play came in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard pass on third down to wide receiver Elijah Moore. The pass gave Winston 460 yards for the game.
The game was the full Winston experience. He followed up the record-breaking pass by throwing an interception which was returned for a touchdown by Ja'Quan McMillan. It was the second interception returned for a touchdown on the night for Winston.
All told, Winston finished the game with 497 yards passing with four touchdowns and three interceptions.The previous record was held by Josh McCown, who had 457 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in 2015. In that game, a 33-30 win by the Browns, McCown completed 36 of his 51 pass attempts and he had two touchdowns.
Winston was well on his way partway through the third quarter with a 70-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy.Winston's big game is especially impressive given it comes against a Broncos defense under coordinator Vance Joseph that is one of the best in the NFL. As proven by their three interceptions Monday night.
