Jerry Jeudy promised he would ball out in his return to the Mile High City, and he did not disappoint.
Jeudy was basically a one-man offense for the Cleveland Browns on Monday in their 41-32 loss to the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colo. Jeudy racked up 235 yards on 9 catches. He also had a spectacular 70-yard touchdown that led to him taunting his former fan base.
Jeudy’s gaudy receiving yard total was the most by a wideout against his former team in NFL history. On Tuesday, Jeudy immortalized his historic game with a post on Instagram.
“They doubted the comeback, so I made it unforgettable,” Jeudy captioned his post.

Jeudy’s previous career high in receiving yards was 154, which he also did on the same field as a member of the Broncos two seasons ago.
The Browns wide receiver’s epic revenge game, however, was not enough to get a victory. It arguably wasn’t even the biggest storyline of the contest.
Browns quarterback Jameis Winston, who fed Jeudy all game, had himself a record-breaking performance as well.
Winston set the Browns’ single-game franchise record for passing yards with an eye-popping 34/58 passing clip for 497 yards with four touchdowns. But at the same time, he also threw three backbreaking interceptions to cost Cleveland any shot of an upset.
