Deshaun Watson 'ready for support' of Browns fans during home opener in Week 3
Watson was booed when the Browns last played at home during the preseason.
Deshaun Watson is anticipating the support of Cleveland Browns fans as they gear up for their home opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The last time the Browns played at home was during the preseason, a day marked by booing from fans towards Watson, who subsequently labeled the response as disrespectful and personal.
However, Watson's performance in a recent win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has him eager to deliver more victories, stating, "I never try to go to war with the fans so the biggest thing is ready for support, ready to feel their energy, ready to get this big dub for the city of Cleveland and continue this great feeling that we have this week."
Watson's focus remains on pushing forward, finding ways to win, and building upon the momentum gained from last week's victory. He refrains from dwelling on the negative reception he received during the preseason game, emphasizing that they are moving past it and focusing on the present and upcoming challenges. The Browns will next host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday before facing the New York Jets in Week 5, and the quarterback position could be influenced by Watson's ongoing performance and the readiness of backup Shedeur Sanders.
