Cleveland Browns vs. Denver Broncos: Box score player stats, and game summary feat. Bo Nix, David Njoku

The Denver Broncos have been undergoing a resurgence under rookie Bo Nix, a dual-threat potential franchise savior who has put them within striking distance of their first playoff appearance since Peyton Manning's retirement. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns have been collapsing - and that was before Deshaun Watson broke tore his Achilles tendon.

Both teams met on Monday night with different goals, but similarly much to prove.

Cleveland Browns vs. Denver Broncos game summary

The game began with missed opportunities, as the Broncos went three-and-out on the opening drive, only for Dustin Hopkins to squander the opportunity by missing a field goal - a miss that Javonte Williams punished with a rushing touchdown.

But the Browns did not take long before answering that via Jameis Winston finding David Njoku. After that, both teams exchanged punts.

The Browns' next big break came when Greg Newsome intercepted Bo Nix, and it resulted in a field goal. But the Broncos struck back via a Michael Burton rush, then Nik Bonitto intercepting Winston and returning it 71 yards.

Njoku eventually caught another touchdown to end the first half.

The second half began with both teams exchanging punts in the first three drives before Marvin Mims exploded for a 93-yard touchdown catch-and-run:

Jerry Jeudy responded with a long touchdown of his own, complete with two-pointer:

After that, both teams exchanged punts again before Wil Lutz hit a field goal.

The Browns were forced to punt on their next drive, but Denzel Ward intercepted Nix to regain possession and begin a monstrous drive. Nick Chubb completed the punishment with a touchdown catch for the lead. But the Broncos were behind for all of six minutes before Lutz hit another field goal.

The game was confirmed when Jalen McMillan intercepted Winston right after the two-minute warning and and returned it for a touchdown:

And just for good measure, Cody Barton also caught another interception to end the game.
