There has been one easy target for the lack of success from the Cleveland Browns in the first half of the season.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson has been a lightning rod since the Browns acquired him via a trade with the Houston Texans. Watson has done little to help his cause thanks to an NFL suspension and back-to-back season-ending injuries that have limited him to 19 games since the start of the 2022 season.
The situation hit rock bottom in the season’s first seven games as Watson threw for too few yards, took too many sacks, and led an offense that could not find the end zone.
