Deshaun Watson can’t convince in his comeback despite the win. Head coach Kevin Stefanski, however, is sure that the quarterback will work better in the very next game.

Munich/Houston – Not played well, but at least won. Deshaun Watson put in a mixed performance in his NFL comeback with his new team, the Cleveland Browns.

His first two pass attempts were incomplete. His first pass landed in the arms of Anthony Schwartz, who directly committed a fumble. Shortly after, he also threw an interception.

Watson on his long break: “I felt it every day “

For Watson, who has been accused of sexual harassment on multiple counts, this was the first NFL game since Jan. 3, 2021. “No matter how long I was out, I felt every single one of those days,” Watson said after the game.

“I was just happy to be back on the field. I did everything that was asked of me. I did all of that. And I was able to play today and be on the field. “

The Browns won the game against his ex-team, the Houston Texans, 27-14. He said the fact that Texans fans booed him on every snap didn’t bother him: “Let them boo. I’m a Cleveland Brown now, and we’re playing away, so let them boo. “

Watson’s statistics read rather modestly: He completed 12 of his 22 passes for just 131 yards and wasn’t particularly mobile, either, with 21 rushing yards.

Head Coach Stefanski: “He’ll be better next time “

Head coach Kevin Stefanski backed up his passer. “That was his first game. You have to work through that. When you miss a lot of time, you have to come back in. You have to get that first game behind you. But I know what the boy is capable of,” the coach clarifies.
