Browns bettors lose out on cover due to goal-line interception in 2024 NFL Bad Beats.


Every week in the NFL, bettors, sportsbooks or both lament some sort of a tough loss.

Whether it’s a spread pick, a moneyline bet, a wager on the total points scored, or a miss on a prop — there’s always one occurrence that affects a few bets.

During Monday Night Football, it was the last play of the Broncos and Browns game that caused bettors some pain.

Let’s take a look at how it all unfolded.

Last minute interception by Jameis Winston ruins cover for Browns bettors

Entering the game, the Browns were 6.5-point underdogs against the Broncos. At halftime, Denver led 21-17— meaning Browns spread bettors were looking good.

However, the second half was chaotic.

Thirty-five second-half points were scored, and the lead kept changing. Denver would go up 31-25 with 1:52 left in the third quarter until Jameis Winston led a nine-play drive for 72 yards to put the Browns up 32-31. On the next possession, Bo Nix and Co. would end their drive with a field goal to make it 34-32 with 2:54 left in the fourth quarter.

The Browns were still covering at this point, and even had a chance to win the game. But Winston would be intercepted for a touchdown on the fourth play of the ensuing drive, putting Denver up 41-32.

At this point, the cover seemed unreachable. But with 1:44 left, Winston drove the Browns down the field and gained 37 yards in six plays. On the seventh play, Cleveland got a huge break.

Winston threw a deep ball to Michael Woods and defensive pass interference was called on the play— a 36-yard penalty that would put the Browns on the Denver two-yard line. Two yards were all they needed to give Browns spread-bettors the cover.

And then, Winston made a costly mistake. He threw a goal-line interception, his third pick of the night.

Before Winston’s game-ending interception, Kevin Stefanski and Co. had 44 seconds and two timeouts to score a touchdown— which would have led to Browns bettors covering.

Winston set several records despite the loss, with his 497 pass yards setting the Browns’ single-game record and being the second-most in Monday Night Football history. Jerry Jeudy also had a remarkable night, recording 235 receiving yards— the most by any player against his former team in NFL history.
