Deshaun Watson will start in Week 2 for Browns vs. Bucs after Week 1 dud
Watson’s status was unclear following a 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in which Watson threw an interception on Cleveland’s opening possession and the Browns didn’t score a touchdown until the game was long decided with less than two minutes remaining.
Deshaun Watson will start for the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to Yahoo Sports, head coach Todd Monken confirmed that Watson will retain his job as starting quarterback despite a poor Week 1 performance. In the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Watson threw an interception on the team's opening possession.
The interception, described by SB Nation as "absolutely atrocious," was thrown straight to Jaguars defensive back Foyesade Oluokun on the fifth play of the season. The Browns did not score a touchdown until the game was nearly over, with less than two minutes remaining.
Watson's status as starter was uncertain after the loss, but Monken has confirmed that he will start again in Week 2.
