The Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos are set to clash at Empower Field at Mile High on Monday.
Despite Cleveland’s challenging 3-8 record, the team recently demonstrated its competitive spirit by upsetting division leader Pittsburgh with a 24-19 victory in Week 12.
The Broncos, currently positioned third in the AFC West with a 7-5 record, enter the matchup with a formidable historical advantage.
Their dominance in this long-standing series is concerning: out of 32 total encounters, including three playoff games, Denver has secured 25 victories, leaving Cleveland with a mere 7 wins.
The road has been particularly unforgiving for the Browns.
According to Brownsmuse on X, Cleveland’s away record against the Broncos stands at a disheartening 4-12 all-time, underscoring the uphill battle they face in Denver.

However, the rivalry’s history isn’t without its dramatic moments.
The 2015 game saw the Broncos narrowly winning 26-23 in overtime, while Cleveland surprised everyone with unexpected victories in 2021 (17-14) and 2018 (17-16).
The last Monday Night Football clash between the Browns and Broncos dates back to October 1990, and it was a memorable one.
That day, the Browns found a moment of redemption.
After three painful AFC Championship losses, Cleveland seized a slim victory at Mile High Stadium, clinching a dramatic 30-29 win that gave them a taste of long-awaited satisfaction against their playoff nemesis.
It’s all about climbing the playoff ladder, and for the Browns, it’s a chance to salvage pride and momentum in a challenging year.
