Browns Stick With Jameis Winston as Starting Quarterback Despite Playoff Elimination

Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirms Winston will remain the starter as Cleveland focuses on improving performance in the season's final games.

The Cleveland Browns, now officially eliminated from playoff contention, will keep Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski emphasized the team's focus on finding ways to win and improving performance rather than evaluating backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson at this time.
Winston has thrown for 1,975 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions this season, but turnovers remain a persistent issue, with five interceptions in his last two games.
Stefanski declined to commit to Winston's long-term future with the team, stating decisions about the quarterback position will be evaluated after the season concludes.
Despite a challenging season at 3-10, Stefanski praised the team's resilience and reiterated the importance of maintaining competitive effort in the remaining games.
