Wintry conditions couldn’t stop the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football.
Due to a strong first-half defensive performance and fourth-quarter heroics from Jameis Winston in the snow, the Browns took down the Pittsburgh Steelers by the final score of 24-19 at Huntington Bank Field.
Winston finished 18-of-27 for 219 yards and an interception. While he struggled with inconsistency due to the inclement weather, he found the end zone near the start of the fourth quarter on the ground and helped lead the Browns on a go-ahead scoring drive that ended with roughly a minute remaining in regulation.
He also made several impressive throws to keep the chains moving on Cleveland’s final drive.
Fans and athletes alike were impressed with his performance.
Both teams struggled to sustain drives in the snow, combining to score just 16 total points prior to the fourth quarter. The weather caused drops and fumbles throughout the contest.
