Watson Blames Media, Not Himself | Cleveland Browns News

0:00It's September 16th, from game day to every day. This is Cleveland Brown's news today, powered by AI. DeShawn Watson is feeling the heat from the Cleveland Brown's faithful, and he's pointing fingers, but not at himself. He recently stated that the media is the real reason he's having trouble connecting with the fan base. He feels like the media expects him to put up video game numbers every single week, and until that happens, he believes the criticism will continue. His performance in their recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars wasn't exactly stellar. He threw for just over 200 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also took a beating, getting sacked five times for a loss of 20 yards. When asked about the game, Watson downplayed his struggles, claiming he only had a few incompletions in one turnover. He seemed to suggest that the team just didn't get enough chances in the red zone to score, rather than focusing on his own execution. This Sunday, Watson and the Browns have another shot at getting their first win of the season.

1:00They're set to face off against Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kickoff is scheduled for 1pm, Eastern Time on CBS. It's clear Watson is trying to manage the narrative, but the pressure is on for him to deliver on the field. We'll see if he can turn things around in the upcoming game.
