Denver Broncos Defeat Cleveland Browns 41-32

In a thrilling Week 13 matchup, the Denver Broncos defeated the Cleveland Browns 41-32, but their defense faced significant challenges, allowing 552 total yards, the third-most in the NFL this season. Cornerback Levi Wallace described his performance as the worst of his career, as he struggled against former Bronco Jerry Jeudy, who amassed 235 receiving yards, a record against a former team. Despite the defensive failures, the Broncos' defense managed to secure three interceptions, including two pick-sixes, which ultimately helped clinch the victory. The Broncos, now 8-5, are determined to correct their defensive issues as they prepare for a crucial game against the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Sean Payton acknowledged the need for improvement, emphasizing the importance of learning from past mistakes. Defensive lineman Zach Allen noted that while Cleveland had a solid game plan, the Broncos must execute better to maintain their status as one of the league's top defenses.
