The Cleveland Browns took a tough loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football, dropping their record to 3-9 on the season. The Browns kept the game close until the very end despite being massive underdogs going into the matchup. However, a video has surfaced from the game that has Cleveland fans calling the game “rigged” for Denver.
The Missed Call
The Browns were driving down the field, looking like they would score to take the lead. Quarterback Jameis Winston was dropping back to pass, but he took a massive sack, causing the team to be unable to take the lead. In the video, Winston was seen being thrown to the ground violently and his helmet coming off, which usually warrants a personal foul and a 15-yard penalty.
🚨🚨REFS STRIKE AGAIN🚨🚨
JAMEIS WINSTON IS HIT IN THE HELMET BY BRONCOS DEFENDERS WITH INTENT… NO CALL FROM THE REFS.
🤯
Winston‘s helmet was literally knocked off, and it should’ve been a 15-yard penalty, setting up Cleveland to take the lead.

Jameis out here getting helmet-to-helmet hits while the refs are wearing blindfolds. 🫤 Can we get some flags, or are they saving them for the holidays?

That was a clear penalty! How do the refs miss that?

Despite the outcome of the game, Winston still threw for 497 passing yards and four touchdowns, but the difference in the game was his three interceptions, with two in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
