Bo Nix took a page out of Jameis Winston's playbook as the two quarterbacks faced off on Monday Night Football.
When the Denver Broncos got stuck on a fourth down and short toward the end of the third quarter, Nix went to the line to hard count and attempt to draw the Browns' defense offsides. They didn't budge, so before the play clock hit zero, Nix made a final plea.
"Jump offsides!" Nix screamed before he walked back to the sideline.
At the end of trying to get the Browns to bite on a hard count, Bo Nix screams "jump offside."

Nix's attempt wasn't the first hilarious ask a quarterback has made to a defense at the line of scrimmage. Winston did something similar when his Browns took on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 21.

Winston telling the opposing defense "somebody jump offsides, damn" is one of many quirky moments from the NFL's best personalities. Now, maybe we have the birth of a new trend across the league, already rubbing off on one of the top rookie quarterbacks.
Nix's Broncos (7-5) and Winston's Browns (3-8) have brought an exciting shootout, and plenty of charisma, to MNF.
