Winston’s Wednesday began with the news that he was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his 334-yard, three-TD performance in the Browns’ 29-24 upset of the Ravens, his first start with the Browns.
It means that the Browns and their fans are in for more fiery pregame speeches, more postgame lyrics, more booming encouragement and praise, more touchdown passes and probably some interceptions too, and plenty of hearty belly laughs.Trailing 24-23 with 2:31 remaining, Winston engineered a nine-play, 69-yard drive that ended with the 38-yard game-winning touchdown pass to WR Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds left. On the game-winning drive, he completed 6 of 9 passes for 74 yards.
“I have not heard from Eminem, but that is, I encourage everyone to just have that mentality, because that’s so true in all of our professions,” Winston said. “Opportunities only come around once and we have to be grateful and receive them with authority and make the most of it.” . “So I caught him one morning and I was like, ‘What are you listening to?’ and he was like, ‘the plays.’ That’s a ritual of his that he does to help him learn, recite and be able to process everything.”“Yes. I don’t know how he records them, but he listens to them. I just thought that was pretty cool. You don’t play this long without having your own little niche, and that’s one of those for him.”Okay, so Winston’s famous “Eat a W” pregame speech in Tampa was rehearsed.
Stefanski has appreciated the energy and positivity Winston brings to the table. A self-described “man of increase,” he’s all about helping his teammates. Winston showed up for his weekly availability wearing compression therapy socks, and can always be seen doing some kind of stretching or modality in the locker room. He’s so locked in at times, he doesn’t seem to realize it’s an open locker room.
