There’s nothing quite like football in the snow, and when you add in a primetime AFC North matchup, it doesn’t get much better than that. The game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns lived up to the hype and then some.

Despite entering the game at 2-8, the Browns, led by Jameis Winston and Myles Garrett, pulled off an upset over the first-place Steelers in the AFC North.

After a clutch, methodical drive by Winston that put the Browns ahead with a Nick Chubb goal-line touchdown, Cleveland held on for a 24-19 victory, even after blowing an 18-6 lead in the fourth quarter.

As the snow continued to blanket Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Winston shared a moment of respect with Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson, acknowledging the hard-fought battle in a game that garnered widespread attention.

“Way to compete, man, thanks for everything, man.” You can hear Winston say to Wilson.

You can’t really prepare for these kinds of weather conditions, and while the quarterback play wasn’t perfect, both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were still highly effective, considering the obstacles they had to overcome.

Between the wind, snow, and frigid temperatures, both quarterbacks showed resilience in commanding their offenses and making plays through the air.

Wilson finished the game completing 21 of 28 passes for 270 yards and one touchdown . He also added three rushes for 10 yards and one fumble.

On the other side, Winston went 18 of 27 for 219 yards and an interception. However, he contributed with his legs as well, rushing for seven yards and a crucial rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter on 4th-and-goal to give the Browns the lead.

Both quarterbacks played solid, but it was Winston who delivered when it mattered most, leading the Browns to a hard-earned victory in a season that’s gone far from expected.
