Shocking Move: Browns Announce Game-Changing Decision for Week 16
The Cleveland Browns have decided to bench quarterback Jameis Winston in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson for their Week 16 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Kevin Stefanski cited the need for better ball security as a key reason behind the switch.
“We’re trying to find a way to win against a division opponent on the road,” Stefanski said. “Obviously, we need to take better care of the football as an offense.”
Winston’s struggles have been glaring, throwing 12 interceptions in his last six starts while the Browns went 1-5 during that span. His three-interception outing in a 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week sealed the decision.
Thompson-Robinson, a former UCLA star, has seen limited action this season, completing just 44.1% of his passes with no touchdowns and three interceptions. Despite his inexperience, the Browns are banking on his potential to stabilize the offense.
With a 3-11 record, the move raises questions about the team’s strategy as the season winds down.
