Browns QB Jameis Winston quotes Eminem in post-game interview: 'You only get one shot'
The Cleveland Browns provided one of the biggest surprises of the Week 8 Sunday slate with their win over division rival Baltimore. That victory snapped the Browns' five-game losing streak and ended the Ravens' five-game winning streak.
Cleveland had their best offensive performance of the season behind backup quarterback Jameis Winston. He completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead touchdown to Cedric Tillman in the game's final minute.

After the game, Winston quoted rapper Eminem when asked about getting his first start since 2022.
"There's a white boy from Detroit that I really admire named Eminem," Winston said. "He said, 'You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity lasts once in a lifetime.'"
Winston nearly had that part of the chorus to Eminem's song "Lose Yourself" perfectly correct. Except the final line is, "This opportunity comes once in a lifetime," but Winston got the point across.
Winston also thanked his offensive and defensive lines for winning in the trenches, as well as the crowd in Cleveland.
"Thank you for the Browns fans for coming up and standing up and helping us get a victory at home," Winston said.
