The Cleveland Browns dropped their Week 5 matchup to the New York Jets, 17-12. The offense struggled to get anything going, as they played in a downpour for all four quarters. This was not the same offense we have seen in recent weeks, and the rain was a major factor. Be that as it may, what grade did Deshaun Watson earn for his performance?
Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report handed out quarterback grades for last week and gave Watson a D:
Deshaun Watson didn't keep his streak of playing well going against the New York Jets. At the same time, the Cleveland Browns offense didn't play well around its quarterback.
The Jets' defensive front feasted with eight sacks and 13 quarterback hits.
Cleveland's wide receivers also had key drops. Without Watson
added to the equation, the Browns' ball-carriers averaged 3.3 yards per carry. The wet and wild weather certainly didn't help matters.
Cleveland will have another chance to land in the win column this Sunday, as they play the Baltimore Ravens at home in their second division game this season.
