Despite Winston’s impressive performance through the air, the Browns still lost on Monday and Cleveland’s quarterback had no time after the game to take credit for his impressive afternoon.

“It doesn’t matter,” Winston said on breaking the Browns franchise record. “It’s about finishing. It’s about executing when your team needs you the most.”

Mistakes Costing Cleveland

Although Cleveland put up 31 points on Monday they still lost to Denver and Winston took sole the blame for the defeat, after throwing three interceptions of which two were pick-sixes’.

“It’s tough for any team to win when you have two defensive touchdowns that the quarterback gave them,” Winston said. “Defense played good; offense played well. I didn’t do a great job.

“I know I’m better than this. I’m just praying for the Lord to deliver me from pick-sixes. That’s not me. Phenomenal game offense. Do some great things. But I messed it up.”

There was one highlight from the loss that particularly stood out for Winston, with a 70-yard touchdown to Jerry Jeudy in the third quarter keeping Cleveland alive in the game.
