Browns Broncos Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway (11) makes a catch as Denver Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby defends during the second half of an NFL football game, Saturday, in Denver.

DENVER — Whether it was “The Fumble” or “The Drive” in the playoffs in the 1980s or the 11 consecutive times Denver had dumped Cleveland, the Broncos always served as the Browns biggest bugaboo.

With John Elway watching from his suite at Mile High Stadium, Baker Mayfield capitalized on Denver’s depleted cornerback corps and dubious coaching decisions in leading the Browns past the Broncos, 17-16, Saturday night.
