The Cleveland Browns grab their second win of the season with a 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Radio host and CM contributor Dennis Manoloff breaks down Jameis Winston’s impressive performance and more in his three takeaways, brought to you by Absolute Roofing and Construction.
Here are DMan's three takeaways from the Oct. 27 win:
Takeaway One: Sweet Victory Over the “Rat Birds”
After five consecutive losses to Baltimore, the Browns pulled off a comeback to snap the Ravens’ five-game winning streak. Cleveland fans will savor this one for
a long time, as the team defied the odds and emerged victorious.
Takeaway Two: Jameis Winston Shines
In a breakout performance, Winston threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing the level of skill and composure Cleveland has been searching for. With Ken Dorsey calling the plays
and Jim Donovan “up in heaven swatting away” potential Ravens’ interceptions, Winston looked every bit the part of a franchise quarterback.
Takeaway Three: Stefanski’s Leadership Stands Out
Head Coach Kevin Stefanski took a backseat from play-calling and embraced his role as a sideline leader, managing the game with calm and focus. His ability to delegate and
act as the team’s CEO led to a more confident sideline atmosphere and ultimately a Browns’ victory.
