NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson faced loud boos from Cleveland fans during the preseason game, reflecting their displeasure with his performance and presence on the team.
- Watson struggled on the field, with the Browns' offense going three-and-out on his first two drives, followed by an interception and a fourth-down incompletion.
- The Browns traded multiple high draft picks and signed Watson to a $230 million fully guaranteed contract, but he has played only 19 games in four seasons and performed poorly overall.
- Watson's acquisition was controversial due to prior sexual assault allegations, leading to an 11-game suspension at the start of his tenure with Cleveland.
- Despite Watson's stated indifference to fan reactions, negative reception is likely to continue if he remains the starter for the Browns' upcoming home games.
