Deshaun Watson made his return to the NFL on Saturday, playing in a preseason game against the Chicago Bears. Watson’s performance was deemed a success, not because he was great, but because he was better than his competitors, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.
Quarterback Competition
Watson completed 11 of 15 passes, and the Browns scored with him in the game. However, he did not throw a touchdown and turned the ball over once on a fumble. Despite this, Watson’s coach, Todd Monken, was impressed with his performance, stating that it was great to see him play and have fun.
Sanders and Gabriel, on the other hand, struggled in the game. Sanders finished with a 39.6 passer rating, while Gabriel finished with a 27.1 passer rating. Both quarterbacks threw interceptions, and Sanders also fumbled a snap. The competition for the starting quarterback position continues, with Monken announcing that Sanders will start next week against the Buffalo Bills, and Watson will play in the third quarter.
