Browns Coach Monken Stands by Watson After Loss to Jaguars

Following a challenging 34-10 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken has expressed his support for quarterback Deshaun Watson. Despite some fans calling for a change to second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Monken chose to keep Watson in the game until the end.

In the aftermath of the game, Monken did not confirm whether Watson would start in the upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He acknowledged that the offensive struggles were not solely Watson's fault, noting that there were operational issues and play-calling that contributed to the team's performance.

Watson's statistics reflected a tough outing, completing 11 of 17 passes for 100 yards and an interception before throwing a late touchdown pass. Monken emphasized that external opinions would not influence his decisions, stating that his focus remains on what is best for the team moving forward.
