Sorting the Sunday Pile, NFL Week 8: Jameis Winston's win should end Browns-Deshaun Watson experiment forever

Plus more takes and news from around the NFL's 2024 Week 8 results

Everyone on Planet Earth with a pulse and a scintilla of interest in professional football knows the Browns Deshaun Watson experiment was unequivocally a complete disaster from start to finish. Hopefully it's finished, anyway, and if it wasn't, Jameis Winston's performance on Sunday in a stunning 29-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens should be the final nail in the proverbial coffin. 

Winston finished the game 27 of 41 for 334 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions (!) and a game-winning bomb to Cedric Tillman just after the two-minute warning to get the Browns their second victory of the season. In Winston's first career start with Cleveland, he joined Baker Mayfield, Trent Dilfer and Kelly Holcomb as the only Browns quarterbacks since 1990 to top 300 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. 

Sunday was the first time all season the Browns scored 20+ points in a game. They entered as the only team in the NFL without more than 20 points in a game, which means you can do the math on Watson (0-for-7) and Winston (1-for-1). Scoring 20 points isn't hard in the NFL with a competent offense and Winston did it the week after the Browns traded away his best receiver in Amari Cooper.
