Jameis Winston revisited his 497-yard, three-pick game and looked ahead to the Steelers game.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston jogs off the field after a loss to the Denver Broncos during Monday Night Football in Denver.BEREA, Ohio — Jameis Winston went viral on Monday night for saying he was praying for the Lord to deliver him from his pick-sixes, of which he had two in the 41-32 loss to the Broncos.
Browns say $1.2B public subsidy for Brook Park dome would boost region, but team’s analysis conflicts with Cleveland’sThe second-worst thing about the pair off pick-sixes in Denver, other than the fact the second, with 1:48 left, prevented the Browns from attempting the game-winning field goal, is that it came in a beautiful, gutsy, heroic, fun 497-yard, four-TD performance. The 497 yards were not only a career-high for Winston, but a Browns single-game record.
Winston, who’s thrown 11 touchdowns against his seven INTs in his five starts this season , thought he shed this label after the 2019 season, his last in Tampa Bay, when he led the NFL with 33 touchdown passes — but also 30 interceptions. The 30 ties for seventh-most in the NFL. The Bucs let him walk, and signed Tom Brady to replace him. Winston signed with the Saints, and had one of his most formative years in the NFL, learning from Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees and coach Sean Payton in 2020.
The next time Winston got his chance as a full-time starter, for the Saints in 2021, he threw 14 TDs and only three INTs en route to a 5-2 record. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a season-ending torn ACL and MCL in Week 7, truncating his season of glory. He reclaimed his starting job the next year, but suffered four fractures in his back and succumbed to it after three starts and a 1-2 record. When he got healthy, his job had been given by coach Dennis Allen to Andy Dalton.
Winston noted that he made the right decisions on the pick-sixes, one that resulted in a 71-yard TD by defensive end Nik Bonitto, and the one at the end that resulted in the 44-yard touchdown by cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian. On the first one, Bonitto read Winston’s eyes, vacated David Njoku and jumped the route to Jordan Akins, easily picking it off. On the second one, he threw the ball behind Elijah Moore, and McMillian made him pay.
“One of our mottos as a team is that we’re smart, not conservative,” Winston said. “And my approach to the game is to attack the defense. But the beautiful thing about the quarterback is we touch the ball every single play, and it’s more important to take care of the ball than sometimes make that huge play.Winston, who’s put the joy back into Browns Town this season, vows not dwell on the picks. He won’t manifest them by focusing on what he doesn’t want.
