Around The NFL breaks down what you need to know from all of Sunday's action in Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season. Catch up on each game's biggest takeaways using the links below:. Winston breathes life into Browns' offense. As the 39th Browns starting quarterback since 1999, Jameis Winston faced the unenviable task of attempting to lift Cleveland's offense out of the darkness that consumed it over the first seven weeks of the season. Fortunately, he had all but one of the Browns' starting five offensive linemen to protect him and he benefitted, facing pressure on just 11 of his 43 dropbacks and completing 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns. The numbers didn't come without some typical Winston risks, but he escaped the worst possible outcomes. Most importantly, Winston invigorated a largely dormant Browns passing attack, delivering passes on time with confidence that Deshaun Watson lacked in his seven starts. That meant getting Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and even Cedric Tillman (seven catches, 99 yards, two touchdowns) involved and finally challenging an opposing defense. The end result for Cleveland: A season-high 29 points, a go-ahead touchdown pass in the game's final minute and a massive upset win over one of the AFC's top teams. If any team needed a day like today, it was the Browns. They can thank Winston for it -- and could view this as hard evidence that they don't have a future with Watson.
