NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Deshaun Watson started the first half of the Browns' preseason game against the Bears, completing 11-of-15 passes for 126 yards but showing inconsistency and being strip-sacked on a critical fourth down.
- Most of Watson's yardage came from a 43-yard screen pass, with limited attempts over 10 yards, and the Browns managed only a field goal and a touchdown during his time on the field.
- The Browns failed to capitalize on a late two-minute drill opportunity after an interception, with Watson throwing two incompletions on key downs.
- Rookie receiver KC Concepcion impressed with a 28-yard punt return, three catches for 27 yards, and a 14-yard touchdown on an end-around, while fellow rookie Denzel Boston also contributed with a 15-yard reception.
- Shedeur Sanders is slated to play the third quarter and will start in the next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
