Deshaun Watson has been uncommonly good over the course of his career against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As he gets set to be the Browns’ starter in Game 1 of the 2026 season in Jacksonville, Watson will be starting at an opponent he knows well.
In seven starts between Houston and Cleveland since 2017, Watson is 7-0 against the Jaguars.
He’s only been a part of one loss against the Jaguars, and it was during his first game in the NFL.
Trailing 19-0, Watson was brought into the game just five months after being drafted to relieve Tom Savage. He did not play in the Dec. 17, 2017, rematch, won by the Jaguars 45-7.
Here’s a look at his eight appearances against Jacksonville.
