Jameis Winston was one of the first to congratulate Taysom Hill on his big day
Taysom Hill had a game for the ages when the New Orleans Saints hosted the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Hill was a major key to the Saints' success in their 35-14 win, accounting for three touchdown runs -- plus 138 rushing yards and another 50 receiving yards, and 18 passing yards on a trick play.
His old teammate Jameis Winston had a good day, too. Winston threw for 395 yards and two touchdowns against his former team while doing all he could to keep the Browns in it, and he didn't turn the ball over. After the game Saints players, coaches, and other personnel queued up to see Winston, but he stepped up when Hill approached him.
"You were amazing, man," Winston laughed, arms wrapping around Hill in a bear hug.
Once upon a time Winston and Hill competed for the opportunity to succeed Drew Brees as the Saints' starting quarterback, splitting practice reps and preseason game action to push one another to be their best. Winston won that battle, but there's still plenty of love between the two of them. Hill had a lot of Saints fans cheering him on Sunday. On some level, another one was watching him from the opposing sideline, too.
