Jameis Winston pays tribute to Eminem in post-win interview

When Jameis Winston gets a microphone, memorable things often happen. The veteran signal-caller's postgame interview after leading the Cleveland Browns to an upset of the division rival Baltimore Ravens was no different.

First Winston played the usual hits. He talked about having faith. He thanked his offensive and defensive lines for the victories in the trenches and the Cleveland fans for creating a strong home atmosphere.

Then things took a turn. He paid tribute to rapper Eminem, referencing the lyrics of the Detroit rapper's hit “Lose Yourself.”

You only get one shot
Don't miss your chance to blow
This opportunity only comes once in a lifetime

“(Eminem) said, 'You only get one shot, don't miss your chance to blow, this opportunity only lasts once in a lifetime,'” Winston quipped when asked what it meant to imitate the team in its first start An injury led to Deshaun Watson.

Thanks in large part to Winston's three touchdowns, the Browns ended a five-game losing streak with their 29-24 win. Next week, they will try to get to 2-0 with Winston as the starter when they host the Los Angeles Chargers.
