The win takes the Broncos to 8-5 and in the heart of the AFC wildcard race.
McMillian’s finish left career-best performances by Browns quarterback Winston and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in the shade.
Winston threw for a franchise-record 497 yards and four touchdowns on Monday while Jeudy managed nine catches for 235 yards and a touchdown against his former club.
Winston also threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for scores – the first from 71 yards by Nik Bonitto.
Opposite number Bo Nix threw for 294 yards with two interceptions and a 93-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims Jr.
