Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson criticized home supporters after facing persistent boos during Saturday preseason game against Buffalo Bills at Huntington Bank Field. Watson entered during the third quarter, completing five of twelve passes for thirty six yards and one interception as Cleveland lost thirty one to seven. Speaking to reporters afterward, Watson characterized the hostile reception as personal and disrespectful rather than based on athletic performance. He recalled that local fans cheered when he suffered a severe Achilles tendon injury during a home game against Cincinnati Bengals in October 2024. Head coach Todd Monken addressed the crowd reaction while evaluating ongoing quarterback competition between Watson and rookie Shedeur Sanders ahead of regular season opener against Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson expressed frustration regarding ongoing animosity, noting that he experiences greater support during road contests than inside Cleveland home venue. Team management continues evaluating final roster decisions for upcoming regular season games.
