In a high-scoring Monday Night Football matchup, the Denver Broncos emerged victorious over the Cleveland Browns, 41-32. While Bo Nix led the Broncos to the win, it was his postgame comments about Jameis Winston that stood out. Nix, who completed 18 of 35 passes for 294 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions, took a moment to acknowledge Winston’s performance and career.
“Well, we are from the same town back in Alabama,” Bo Nix said when asked about Winston’s game. “It’s fun watching him play. Obviously, he has a lot of experience. I’ve been watching him for a long time. I have a lot of respect for what he’s done, for what he’s been through, and for being able to stay in this league and have a great performance tonight.”
Winston’s stats were impressive despite the loss, completing 34 of 58 passes for 497 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. While Jameis Winston’s efforts were not enough to secure the win, Nix’s remarks highlighted the respect between the two quarterbacks, both of whom hail from Alabama.
Nix also reflected on the game itself, acknowledging the challenges posed by Cleveland Browns’ defense. “It was a tough football game. Really good defense. We forced three turnovers, and that was kind of the difference,” Nix said. “It wasn’t pretty, but Monday Night Football is all about finding a way to win.”
