It was an outright slobberknocker between the Broncos and the Browns, who combined for 73 points on Monday Night Football. But in the end, Denver — with its two pick-sixes and a 93-yard touchdown pass from Bo Nix to Marvin Mims Jr. — came away victorious with a 41-32 win. Beat writer Parker Gabriel writes in his analysis: "The back-and-forth haymakers and the Jerry Jeudy Revenge Game are what made it memorable."

Of the win, columnist Troy Renck writes, "It also clarified who the Broncos are. They are a contender. They were given every chance to fold, to wilt in the spotlight, and they refused."

Jeudy had a record-setting day in his return to Denver, pulling in 235 yards receiving — the most the Broncos have ever given up to a single player.

Next up: Bye week. And they need it.
