The Cleveland Browns fell to the Denver Broncos, 41-32, on Monday night in one of the wildest primetime games of the NFL season so far.
It wasn't the best night for Browns quarterback Jameis Winston, who completed 34 of his 58 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns, but his three interceptions (including two that were returned for touchdowns) proved consequential in the outcome.
But on a night where his two key interceptions were the story, there was one unexpected highlight for Winston that stemmed from a broken play. Winston seemingly invented a "spinning triple option" off a broken play that helped the Browns make something out of nothing.
Jameis Winston may have just accidentally invented a new play 😂

The play highlighted Winston's ability to think on his feet and get the Browns some positive yardage on a broken play. And on a night where things didn't go Cleveland's way (again), this is something that can be pointed to on film as a positive from the uneven performance for the Browns quarterback.
NFL fans loved the quick thinking of Winston on the play.
Busted play, buttttt maybe kinda dope?? 😂😂

It might not be in the playbook, but it sure would keep defenses guessing!

Winston and the Browns will look to get back on track next Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
