Jameis Winston has been named AFC Offensive Participant of the Week, the NFL introduced Wednesday, changing into the primary Cleveland Browns quarterback to win the award in 4 years.
Winston, making his first begin since Sept. 25, 2022, handed for 334 yards and three touchdowns within the Browns’ 29-24 upset victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Winston set a franchise report for passing yards in a Browns beginning debut and tossed the go-ahead landing with 59 seconds remaining.
It marks Winston’s first Participant of the Week award since Week 4 of the 2019 season, when he was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He turns into the primary Browns quarterback to be named Participant of the Week since Baker Mayfield in Week 7 of the 2020 season.
Winston stepped in as starter for the injured Deshaun Watson, who suffered a season-ending proper Achilles tear in Week 7.
Coach Kevin Stefanski mentioned Winston will proceed to begin for the Browns (2-6), who host the Los Angeles Chargers (4-3) on Sunday.
