Browns’ QB ready for battle on TNF

When Jameis Winston speaks, everyone listens.

That was no different prior to “Thursday Night Football,” when the Browns’ quarterback offered some words of wisdom ahead of the teams’ game against the Steelers. The NFL on Prime crew was not only treated to a locker room hype speech, but also a great pregame moment with Prime Video sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung.

Side interviews are notoriously boring, but Winston has always been known to add his own flavor to them. Here are the latest and greatest quotes from Winston.

Jameis Winston pregame speech

Winston must have been a speechwriter in a past life, or perhaps he envisions a future career in public speaking. The quarterback made headlines earlier this season for his quote from rapper Eminem following a win over the Ravens, his first since 2022.

As an encore, he went for the two-on-one special on Thursday evening. In the tunnel, Winston told his teammates that it wasn’t about the lights or cameras, but about the team’s individual actions.

The Winston-isms only continued when he met Hartung. When asked how he said you don’t become a Browns quarterback until you beat the Steelers, Winston responded in a way only he can.

“The horse prepares for battle, but victory comes from the Lord,” Winston said before the race. “So I trust the Lord.”

But he didn’t stop there. The Browns’ quarterback was clearly excited about the idea of ​​playing in a snow game and decided to thank a higher power once again.

“I’m so happy and grateful that the Lord has blessed me to play in some snow today, to be in real football weather in Cleveland, Ohio at Huntington Bank Field to give Him the glory,” Winston added. “It’s a beautiful day.”

Depending on your definition of “beautiful,” Winston was right. The snow that fell on the evening in Cleveland made for one of the most picturesque scenes of this NFL season.
