The Cleveland Browns faced a tough defeat in their Week 13 matchup against Bo Nix‘s Denver Broncos, but the standout performance came from quarterback Jameis Winston. In a fiercely contested game, Winston dazzled everyone with an impressive total of nearly 500 passing yards, and fans have been buzzing with excitement ever since.

Winston was unstoppable despite the Broncos’ defense as he made history by finishing the game with 497 passing yards, surpassing Kyle Orton‘s record for the highest count of passing yards by a quarterback, along with at least two pick-sixes.

Following this game, the Browns quarterback became the first player at his position to throw for 400 yards and above with four or more touchdowns and at least two pick-sixes. Despite his impressive stats of four touchdowns and near-500 passing yards, Winston’s three interceptions ultimately cost the Cleveland Browns their victory.

Besides breaking Orton’s record, Winston also surpassed Josh McCown’s franchise record of 457 passing yards in 2015. His pairing with wide receiver Jerry Jeudy made the Browns’ offense unbeatable until Ja’Quan McMillian returned Winston’s interception with a 44-yard touchdown to mark the victory.

The Browns wide receiver also made history as the first receiver to record 235 yards against his former team, along with nine receptions and a remarkable 70-yard touchdown reception.
