• Browns' Denzel Ward: Plays part in two INTs vs. Broncos

  12/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ward logged three tackles (one solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) during Monday's 41-32 loss to the Broncos. Ward was involved in both of Bo Nix's interceptions Monday. Ward got his hand out in front of a pass intended for Troy Franklin, and the deflected ball found its way into Greg Newsome's hands. Ward then picked off Nix early in the fourth quarter on a deep pass intended for Marvin Mims, which led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Jameis Winston to Nick Chubb nine plays later. Ward didn't log an interception over the Browns' first nine games of the regular season, but since the Week 10 bye he's tallied two interceptions (on four pass defenses) while accumulating 12 tackles (eight solo).

  Ward recorded four tackles, an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an additional pass defensed in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints in Week 11. Ward exited the game with a chest injury during the second quarter but returned to the field following halftime. He was the lone Cleveland defender to experience success against the Saints' Taysom Hill, who rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns, while catching eight of 10 targets for 50 yards. He also threw two passes, one of which picked off by Ward in the first quarter. The cornerback later forced Hill to fumble and recovered the loose ball in the second quarter. The pick was the first of the season for Ward, whose two passes defensed increased his league-leading total among cornerbacks to 16, per Pro Football Focus.
