Denzel Ward INTERCEPTS BO NIX ?? Jameis Winston TD PASS To Nick Chubb
The interception came with 2:56 remaining and the Dolphins trailing 21-14. Nix attempted a pass over the middle intended for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, but Ward read the play perfectly and stepped in front of the receiver to secure the ball. The turnover gave the Browns possession at the Miami 40-yard line and allowed them to run out the clock.
Winston Connects with Chubb for Crucial TD
Chubb's touchdown was his second of the game. He had earlier scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter. The Browns' versatile running back finished the day with 114 rushing yards on 23 carries.
Despite a valiant effort from their defense, the Dolphins' offense failed to find its footing against the Browns. Nix completed just 15 of 32 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.
The Dolphins' offense also struggled to establish a consistent running game. Jeff Wilson Jr., who started in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa, rushed for just 26 yards on 10 carries.
The Browns' victory improves their record to 2-1 on the season. They'll next head to Atlanta to face the Falcons in Week 4. The Dolphins, now 0-3, will try to get their first win at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Key Takeaways:
- Denzel Ward's late interception sealed the victory for the Browns.
- Jameis Winston's touchdown pass to Nick Chubb gave Cleveland a crucial lead in the fourth quarter.
- The Dolphins' offense struggled to generate consistent production.
The Browns' defense continues to impress, and they'll need to maintain that high level of play if they want to continue their winning ways. The Dolphins, on the other hand, will need to find a way to ignite their offense if they want to avoid falling to 0-4.
