Browns Coach Comes Clean on Deshaun Watson's Controversial Preseason Rant

Deshaun Watson called fan boos 'disrespectful' this preseason. Now Todd Monken is revealing how much it actually affected him.

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken is addressing the strained relationship between his team and their dedicated fanbase following quarterback Deshaun Watson's recent comments. Monken, fresh out of his first season as head coach, explains that the fans simply want the team to perform well and win games.
