Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson completed 24-of-32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the Browns’ 16-20, Week 4 loss to the Raiders.

Watson opened the game with nine straight completions and the Browns put 10 points on the board through two drives. That was the entirety of their output on offense as they failed to score for the remaining three and a half quarters of football. The defense scooped a fumble for a touchdown late in the game and it still wasn’t enough. To his credit, Watson caught multiple bad beats in this game. His interception hit Amari Cooper in the chest and ricocheted into the waiting arms of Raiders safety Tre’von Moehrig. He also had an 82-yard touchdown to Cooper that was called back by a holding penalty. Still, Watson struggled to diagnose pressure at times and wasn’t always able to put enough speed on the ball, resulting in a few poorly placed throws. It was far from his worst game as a member of the Browns, but he still failed to rise above a poor situation, something Watson did plenty of in Houston. Watson will look to get a 1-3 Cleveland squad back on track versus a suddenly hot Commanders team in Week 5.
