Deshaun Watson put together another abysmal performance as starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, this time resulting in a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Watson, who was traded to the Browns in 2022 and agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract upon the deal, was 16 of 24 with 168 passing yards and was sacked five times. He didn’t throw a touchdown pass and neither did the entirety of the Browns’ offense.

Cleveland has yet to score at least 20 points this season. ESPN’s Field Yates pointed out the Browns were the first team in 10 years to fail to hit the 20-point plateau in their first six games of the regular season.

With no hope in sight, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski fielded questions about the starting quarterback situation. He was adamant that Watson would remain the starting quarterback.

Mitchell Schwartz, a retired Super Bowl champion who won a ring with the Kansas City Chiefs during his career as an NFL offensive lineman, scrutinized the Browns for keeping Watson as the starter, a notion felt by much of the Browns’ fan base.

"It’s incredibly s----y to do this to the rest of the team," Schwartz wrote on X. "(Offensive lineman) Joel Bitonio is out there every week playing through who knows what and has to wreck his body when they have no chance of being good b/c of the QB. Myles Garrett is playing in pain every week. Feel for everyone else there."
