Former Florida State star Jameis Winston set another record in his football career on Monday Night Football when he surpassed Josh McCowen for passing yards in a single game in Cleveland franchise history. McCown had the most passing yards for the Browns in a game, with 457 yards against the Baltimore Ravens on October 11, 2015.

Winston surpassed the record on a 14-yard completion to wide receiver Elijah Moore late in the fourth quarter against the Broncos, bumping him up to 460 on the night.

Winston and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had a field day against the Denver Broncos in the 41-32 loss, with Winston throwing for 497 yards and four touchdowns. Against his former team, Jeudy ended the night with 235 yards through the air and a score.

The Browns have seen a turnaround under Winston after starting quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with an injury, defeating the Ravens, Saints, and Steelers before falling to the Broncos. Despite his record-setting game, he threw two pick-sixes and an interception, which undoubtedly changed the outcome of the game.

Cleveland picked up Winston in free agency on a one-year deal and he has outperformed Watson thus far. Turnovers, however, continue to haunt the Hueytown, AL native and ultimately cost them a chance at victory as Broncos linebacker Cody Barton picked him off in the red zone as the seconds dwindled.

Cleveland moved to 3-9 on the season with the loss, and the Denver Broncos moved to 8-5. Wiston and the Browns' next matchup is against the Steelers next Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
