Sunday's Texans loss: when the boo birds for Deshaun Watson outnumbered the cheers for the Houston team.
The Texans' defense did enough to win the game on Sunday, but Cleveland still won, 27-14.Prior to yesterday, he last time we saw Deshaun Watson suiting up in a regular season NFL game was January 3, 2021, the final game of the 2020 NFL season, a loss to the Tennessee Titans, after which J.J. Watt was captured on video down on the field apologizing to Watson for being part of an effort that"wasted a year" of the quarterback's prime.
That was 700 days ago, and feels like it was 700 years ago. Since then, Watt has long since moved onto being an Arizona Cardinal, the Texans are now two head coaches into what is starting to feel like an endless rebuild, and Watson himself wasted a second year of his prime defending himself from a couple dozen plaintiffs suing him for sexual assault.
So the scene on Sunday at NRG Stadium was surreal on so many levels. The crowd was energetic in their booing of Watson, far more so than their general level of enthusiasm for the Texans as a team right now. Ultimately, the fans were robbed of a chance to feel good about their team, even if it were just for a day, because the offensive coordinator stinks and the level of play by their starting quarterback was beyond a clown show.
The Texans lost 27-14 to the Browns on Sunday, and Watson generated just six points. The other 21 points came from egregious errors by Kyle Allen, and a rare special teams breakdown by the Texans' punt coverage team. So the book feels closed on Watson now. Let's get to winners and losers....AS you may or may not know, in addition to my weekday morning radio duties at SportsRadio 610, I also handle the pregame and postgame radio shows for the Texans on game day.
