Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was brimming with enthusiasm ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. His excitement and faith-filled remarks set the tone for what he described as a unique and thrilling football experience, one he called a “battle.”
Speaking to Prime Video’s Kaylee Hartung in a pregame interview, Winston made it clear he was mentally and spiritually prepared for the challenge of facing the Steelers, who entered the game with an 8-2 record.
“The horse is preparing for battle, but victory comes from the Lord. So I’m dependent on the Lord,” Winston declared when asked about the mindset needed to secure a win against their rivals.
Hartung pressed Winston on whether his faith-filled response was also his message to the team. Winston responded with a steady and grounded answer, emphasizing the importance of a focused approach.
“Day by day, one play at a time, that’s the message,” he said, offering a glimpse into the mindset he hoped would carry the Browns to victory.
One of the night’s most intriguing storylines was Winston’s adaptation to Cleveland’s freezing temperatures. For a quarterback used to domed environments and milder climates, the snowy, winter-like conditions presented a stark contrast.
As temperatures hovered near the freezing mark with light snow falling and gusty winds sweeping across Huntington Bank Field, Winston’s response was not one of concern but rather unbridled joy.
“I am so happy and grateful that the Lord has blessed me to play in some snow,” he said with a wide grin. “To be in true football weather, in Cleveland, Ohio at Huntington Bank Field today — to get Him the glory. It’s a beautiful day.”
This game marked a significant milestone in Winston’s career, as he had never played in temperatures below 40 degrees at kickoff, according to NFL Network.
Winston stepped into the starting quarterback role earlier this season after Deshaun Watson suffered an injury. Coming into Thursday’s game, Winston had a 1-2 record as a starter, throwing for 1,047 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions.
His most recent performance against the New Orleans Saints showcased his potential, with a season-high 395 passing yards. However, the transition from the controlled environment of a dome to the unpredictable elements of snowy Cleveland presented a fresh challenge for the quarterback.
Thursday night’s game wasn’t just about football for Winston—it was an opportunity to showcase his faith and gratitude. His pregame remarks reflected a deep belief in both his own abilities and a higher power guiding his path.
As Winston prepared to lead his team against the formidable Steelers, his unique mix of spiritual fervor and readiness for the elements painted a compelling picture of a quarterback eager to embrace the moment. Whether it was the “battle” on the field or the biting Cleveland cold, Winston’s energy and focus were undeniable.
