The Cleveland Browns are in a heated AFC North showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. This is an important game for both franchises, as they each are in the playoff race. However, Joe Burrow made a huge mistake after throwing a detrimental pick-six to Denzel Ward.

It wasn't just a regular interception returned for a touchdown. Ward ran the full length of the field, running it 100 yards to the house to give the Browns an early lead over the Bengals. This is exactly what Cleveland needs right now after the Odell Bekcham Jr. debacle. NFL on CBS shares the video via the NFL's Twitter account.

Denzel Ward showed off the speed on this one. There was virtually no chance for any Bengals players to catch up to him. Joe Burrow had a chance to make a play, but Ward juked him out of his shoes, taking it all the way to the touchdown.

This is a must-win game for the Cleveland Browns. They've fallen to last place in the AFC North and the team needs a win to stay relevant. We'll see how it plays out, as the Bengals have already answered back with a Joe Mixon touchdown run.

Having the defense make a big play like this is necessary for the Browns. With their passing game struggling recently, Cleveland needs as much help they can get. Denzel Ward's touchdown won't go unnoticed. We'll see if he can make another big play for the Browns, as Joe Burrow and the Bengals have been a pass-happy offense this season.

Look for Cleveland to buckle down and utilize the pass rush more often throughout this game. Getting in Burrow's face will be their best bet to upset the Bengals.
