Broncos coach Sean Payton has a history with Browns dynamic duo of Jameis Winston and Jerry Jeudy
Associated PressDENVER — If anyone has the elixir to counter the flourishing connection between Cleveland teammates Jameis Winston and Jerry Jeudy, it should be Sean Payton, whose Denver Broncos host the Browns on Monday night. “I’ve coached both of them,” said Payton, who spent three years with Winston in New Orleans and a year with Jeudy in Denver before granting his trade request last March. You see it just in the limited games that Jameis has played.” As for Jeudy, “from a talent standpoint, he has great hips, great transition, and he has great football IQ.” Winston and Jeudy have connected two dozen times for 379 yards and a touchdown over the past four weeks, which included wins over playoff contenders Baltimore and Pittsburgh, giving the Browns a glimmer of hope they can salvage their season. To do that, they’d almost certainly have to get a win in Denver, which has its own blossoming duo in rookie quarterback Bo Nix and veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who has 36 catches for 467 yards and three TDs over the past five weeks.
