Deshaun Watson FAILS to deliver against the Steelers, leaving Cleveland Browns fans FRUSTRATED!
The Cleveland Browns were supposed to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on MNF.
The team was favored in Vegas and coming off a dominant win over Cincinnati while Pittsburgh was crushed in Week 1 by SF.
That's not how it went.
Nick Chubb suffered a season ending injury in the 2nd quarter when he was tackled low by Minkah Fitzpatrick, Deshaun Watson struggled all night long, & TJ Watt and the Pittsburgh defense forced four turnovers in what turned out to be a 26-22 loss for the Browns.
To put into context what happened: Cleveland's defense allowed Kenny Pickett & the Steelers offense to score 12 points in the game. Watson and company turned the ball over 4 times, leading directly to two defensive scores for Pittsburgh... 14 points. The Browns offense allowed more points than its defense.
Special teams was also not a bright spot for the team, as DPJ let multiple punts go over his head without an attempt to make a fair catch, pinning the team deep.
Kevin Stefanski and his offensive playbook confused people at times. Where is the explosive offense we were promised?
At the end of the day, it was a bad loss for a Cleveland team that has championship aspirations, and an even bigger blow to lose Nick Chubb.
Myles Garrett said it best postgame: We have to go out and win for Nick now.
Cleveland sits 1-1 on the year with a date against the Titans in Week 3.
