Browns still to start Jameis Winston after being eliminated

BEREA, Ohio -- Despite being officially eliminated from playoff contention, the Cleveland Browns are sticking with Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback for this week's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs, coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday.

"Our focus right now is just trying to find ways to get a win," Stefanski said after being asked why he wouldn't use the final four games to evaluate backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the 2023 fifth-round pick.

Winston helped lead a pair of upset victories over the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers after taking over in Week 8 for Deshaun Watson, who suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon.
