Watson Stays on Browns’ Starting Lineup Despite Loss

Following a 38‑0 drubbing by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Cleveland Browns have decided to keep Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback for Week 2. Head coach Todd Monken and the coaching staff reviewed the film and found enough positives to justify the decision, even as the team’s offense struggled in the first game of the season.

Coaches Highlight “Good Things” on Film

Monken noted that while the game was a blowout, the footage revealed moments where Watson displayed poise and made smart reads. The coaching staff emphasized that the quarterback’s ability to stay calm under pressure and his quick decision‑making were key factors in the decision to keep him on the field.

Impact of the Loss on the Team’s Momentum

The 38‑point loss was the biggest margin of defeat for the Browns in recent memory, raising questions about the offense’s effectiveness. However, the coaching staff believes that the loss provides a learning opportunity and that Watson’s experience will help the team adjust and improve in the coming weeks.

What This Means for the Rest of the Season

With Watson still on the roster as the primary signal‑caller, the Browns are focusing on refining their offensive schemes. The team’s front office and coaching staff are working to address the gaps exposed in the first game, while maintaining confidence in Watson’s leadership.
