The PIttsburgh Steelers entered their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Cleveland Browns, trying to extend a five-game winning streak.

However, under steady snowfall, Jameis Winston made sure that he provided enough fourth-quarter clutch plays to lead the Browns to a wild 24-19 home win over the Steelers.

Here are five takeaways from the Browns' big upset over their AFC North rival Steelers.

Winston's leadership during the waning moments of this game showed just how much high-quality football this man has left.

Myles Garrett was a terror to deal with

Get this: Myles Garrett had three sacks Thursday night, including one strip sack for a forced fumble on Russell Wilson. And he did all of that in the first half, stamping his defensive dominance on this game.

Nick Chubb did what Nick Chubb does

The bruising back had bookend touchdowns in the first quarter and the decisive one in the fourth to lead the Browns.

Altogether, he finished with 59 yards rushing. The Browns' ability to hand it to Chubb and let him punch in touchdowns offers a distinct edge.

David Njoku made amends

Njoku somehow secured this ball in the snow for a successful two-point conversion via a high degree of difficulty.

And the big play made amends for him dropping a picture-perfect pass aimed square at his chest in the end zone.

Had the Browns lost, he would be hard-pressed to live that drop down.

With his clutch play, Winston more than earned the right to celebrate the Browns' win.

After it, Winston making snow angels in the field was a moment where the entire Browns' fan base — for one night at least — could celebrate with their QB amidst another painful season.
