Todd Monken Doesn't Hold Back on Deshaun Watson Going After Browns Fans

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken revealed what he thought about QB Deshaun Watson calling out fans for booing him.

Deshaun Watson's performance in Saturday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills was poor, resulting in a 31-7 defeat. Following the match, the quarterback openly criticized his own fan base for their treatment of him, even referencing an incident where they cheered as he suffered a torn Achilles during the 2024 season. Watson acknowledged that the issue was not solely about his performance, but rather the disrespectful behavior of the fans.

Head coach Todd Monken attempted to ease the tension by emphasizing that Watson was simply expressing his feelings privately and internally. Monken highlighted Watson's competitiveness and dedication, stating that his comments will not impact the decision on who will start as the team's quarterback for the upcoming season, which begins against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 13.
