Jameis Winston took full control of the Cleveland Browns‘ offense in Week 8 and guided the team to new heights.
The previously 1-6 Browns earned their second win, a 29-24 triumph over the Baltimore Ravens, thanks to Winston and the defense largely stymying quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Edge defender Za'Darius Smith has been a rumored trade candidate at the deadline, and his performance in this game either upped his value or completely removed him from consideration.
He consistently got around Ravens rookie right tackle Roger Rosengarten on his way to 10 quarterback hurries. Smith recorded a 28.1% pass-rush win rate and combined with Myles Garrett for 20 pressures.
