Deshaun Watson: The media thinks I'm supposed to throw for 400 yards, 5 TDs each week
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Deshaun Watson will start for the Cleveland Browns in their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, marking another road start after being booed by fans during the preseason.
- Watson downplayed media and fan expectations, stating his focus is on operating well to help the team win rather than achieving high statistical performances.
- Reflecting on the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, Watson highlighted his solid completion rate and ball protection despite one turnover, but noted the offense struggled to capitalize in the red zone.
- The Browns' offense has faced issues such as pre-snap penalties and limited scoring opportunities, contributing to fan frustration over Watson's performance since joining the team.
- Watson has yet to throw for 300 yards in a game with the Browns, and it appears unlikely that will change in the Week 2 matchup.
