Browns vs. Broncos scores and live updates: NFL “Monday Night Football” streaming information, highlights and analysis.

The Browns’ offense was up and down with Jameis Winston at quarterback, but was able to generate points for the most part. Expect Cleveland to try to keep the NFL’s top team at bay tonight with a running game led by Nick Chubb and some play-action passes.

Since returning from a knee injury in late October, Chubb is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, but he had two touchdown runs in the Browns’ upset of the Steelers in Week 12. Ideally, the Browns would get Chubb to 15-18 Bring runs and also use running back Jerome Ford as a variety and in the passing game.

Winston’s biggest target was former Bronco Jerry Jeudy, who had at least 70 receiving yards in all four of Winston’s starts. But Jeudy expects to be protected tonight by Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, who hasn’t allowed more than three catches to any receiver he’s covered this season, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Surtain has allowed an NFL-low 177 yards this season.

Winston threw three interceptions against the Chargers in Week 9 as the game quickly got away from the Browns. He threw just one interception against the Steelers and recovered with two big completions in the fourth quarter that helped Jeudy score the game-winner.

Expect the Browns to move Jeudy around the lineup — and expect Winston to target tight end David Njoku, who hasn’t matched his big numbers from 2023 but contributed heavily to the offense when healthy was. With outside receiver Cedric Tillman inactive due to a concussion, the Browns could use two tight end sets with Njoku and Jordan Akins and use Kadarius Toney as a slot receiver and gadget player. Toney and Michael Woods II are both on the practice squad tonight with Tillman out.
