Bo Nix had thrown for only 115 yards, completing 10 of his first 21 passes. His 11th completion, though, went for 93 yards.
With the Broncos facing a third-and-11 at their own 7, Nix saw Marvin Mims split the safeties — Rodney McLeod and Ronnie Hickman — and threw a perfect pass. Nix caught the pass at the Broncos 42 and ran the last 58 yards untouched.
The 93-yard score gave the Broncos a brief 28-17 lead.
The Browns answered 11 seconds later on Jerry Jeudy’s 70-yard touchdown reception from Jameis Winston. Jeudy also caught the two-point try to cut the Broncos’ lead to 28-25.
The former Bronco, who was traded to the Browns in the offseason, has six catches for 167 yards now. He could have had more, but Winston missed on a bomb in the first half.
The Browns have outgained the Broncos 397 to 247 with Winston throwing for 336 yards and three touchdowns.
