Brandon Allen leads Broncos to win in absence of Joe Flacco

DENVER -- There's waiting your turn and then there's waiting 42 months for your turn as Denver Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen did.

Allen, who took the first regular-season snap in his NFL career Sunday, filled-in for the injured Joe Flacco and led the Broncos to a 24-19 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Empower Field at Mile High.

The win nudged the Broncos to 3-6 as they head into their Week 10 bye as Denver equaled its best scoring output of the season -- they scored 24 in a Week 4 loss to Jacksonville.
