Browns may use Jacoby Brissett packages with Deshaun Watson's early struggles
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson looked pretty rusty in his first regular season game in 700 days. Does he give Cleveland the best chance to win right now?
Head coach Kevin Stefanski says Watson is still the team's quarterback, but we may be seeing quarterback Jacoby Brissett back on the field.
Watson finished the game with 12 completions on 22 attempts for 131 yards and an interception. The Browns got the victory over his former team, but he accounted for zero of the Browns' 27 points in the Week 13 matchup.
Watson's return from his 11-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy began with fans booing him before the offense's first snap.
It may be Watson is a little distracted by all of the outside noise. If time is what he needs, Brissett has proven he can step in when needed.
Teammates have shown lots of respect for the veteran quarterback. "Man, I love Jacoby, I think Jacoby's a hell of a teammate. One of the best I've ever had," Browns DE Jadeveon Clowney told reporters.
Time will tell how the Browns will use the two quarterbacks, but there's no bad blood between the two.
"Jacoby was a big help on the sideline talking to me," Watson said after the game. "He said that's part of the game. That's knocking the rust off."
