The Cleveland Browns are one of the worst teams in the NFL this season. After starting quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with an Achilles injury, backup Jameis Winston was able to lead the Browns to a shocking win over the Baltimore Ravens in his first start of the season.
Unfortunately, Winston and the Browns have not managed to find the win column since. It hasn’t all been Winton’s fault though.
The veteran gunslinger has been nothing short of impressive at times on the field. In Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints, Winston went 3-for-46 for 395 yards and two touchdowns while throwing zero interceptions.
The Browns try to lean on Wintston’s lively arm as much as possible, which is bad news for them heading into Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“The forecast for Thursday night in Cleveland includes flurries changing into full-on lake effect snow and 20 mph winds coming off the lake. Sounds like AFC North weather,” tweeted Steelers reporter Alan Saunders on Wednesday.

The inclement weather likely means that the Browns will be forced to take a run-heavy approach, which they’ve struggled to excel at due to an injury-decimated offensive line.
Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“The domies won’t know what to do, err I meant Brownies,” one fan said, referencing the Browns planned move to a domed stadium.
“Game gonna come down to Boswell being money in the elements again,” one Steelers fan predicted.
It’ll be interesting to see how head coach Kevin Stefanski and the Browns manage to adapt.
