Denver Broncos come up short of projections, lose to Cleveland Browns, 198.04-143.32

There's no sugarcoating it, Denver Broncos underperformed, at least according to projections, as Cleveland Browns emerged victorious with a 198.04-143.32 win. Denver Broncos earned a 14.80-point lead on Thursday, but Cleveland Browns held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Cody Barton (9 Tackles, 1 Int) and Kadarius Toney (33 Rush Yds, 57 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Aidan Hutchinson (20 points) and Josey Jewell (15) were the leaders for Denver Broncos in the loss. Cleveland Browns (7-3) will look to add to their success against San Francisco 49'ers, while Denver Broncos (3-7) try to get some positive momentum against Green Bay Packers.
