The Cleveland Browns are heading into Week 8 with a solid 5-2 record. Their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers presents an opportunity to lead the AFC North standings.
Deshaun Watson’s resurgence is a significant factor in the Browns’ unexpected success this season. Despite some skepticism about Watson becoming the starting quarterback, his impact has been noteworthy. His journey to Cleveland involved a difficult exit from Houston amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Additionally, Watson has faced several major injuries during his time with the Browns.
Deshaun Watson, although not yet reclaiming his peak performance with the Texans, has thrown for over 1,400 yards across seven games. His physical health and steady presence have provided crucial stability for Cleveland, aiding their improvement.
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN has expressed his belief that Watson is a leading candidate for the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year. “Deshaun Watson right now is the Comeback Player of the Year,” Smith stated. His comments came during a recent episode of “First Take.” Smith praised Watson’s ability to lead the team to come-from-behind victories.
Since 2020, Watson’s appearances have been limited due to various issues, including a suspension and injuries. Despite these setbacks, his current form shows promise. The Browns, members of the AFC North since 2002, have never clinched the division title. This weekend, they head to Pittsburgh for a crucial matchup.
Chantz Martin, a sports writer for Fox News Digital, provides these insights into the Browns’ strategies and Watson’s influence.
