Deshaun Watson could lose his seventh straight start this Sunday when the Browns face the Buccaneers. That’s the brutal truth staring down Cleveland, and it brings back some seriously bad memories for that franchise.
A Streak No Browns Fan Wanted to See Again
We’re talking about a potential losing streak for a Browns quarterback that hasn’t been seen since DeShone Kizer back in 2017. Remember that season? A 15-game skid that cemented an abysmal 0-16 record, which, let’s be real, paved the way for drafting Baker Mayfield. Now, Watson is facing that kind of historical weight. He’s already drawing heat after their Week 1, 34-10 loss to the Jaguars. After that game, he actually said, “the media has this expectation that I’m supposed to throw [for] 400 yards and five touchdowns every week.” The kicker? He hasn’t even done that once since Week 5 of the 2019 season. Seriously, Browns fans have to be losing their minds over that comment alone.
The Brutal Numbers Don’t Lie
If you wanna talk depressing stats, Anthony Lima from 92.3 The Fan dropped some absolute bombs on Friday morning. Get this: Bills quarterback Josh Allen has put up nine total touchdowns in just five days. Deshaun Watson? He’s got eight total touchdowns in a staggering 1,041 days. Read that again. Nine in five days versus eight in over three years. And to twist the knife even more for Cleveland, they could have drafted Josh Allen instead of Baker Mayfield all those years ago. But hey, don’t feel too bad about that, Browns fans; the source even suggests the organization probably would have ruined Allen or moved on from him by now anyway. It’s a gut punch, right? You just wonder what could have been.
After Sunday, barring some miracle where Watson somehow pulls off a win and, yeah, maybe actually throws for 400 yards and five touchdowns, the Browns are gonna have to look hard at what’s next. This situation is unsustainable.
