Summary
Cleveland players publicly backed Deshaun Watson after the Browns’ 23-19 road upset of Tampa Bay, reinforcing support for a quarterback who had faced reports he was already playing for his job.
Watson answered with one of his sharper outings, completing 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards and 2 touchdowns as Cleveland outscored the Buccaneers 17-10 in the second half.
A weather delay of about two hours at the 2-minute warning in the fourth quarter did not derail the Browns, whose locker room was described as upbeat while Tampa Bay’s was quiet.
At 1-1, Cleveland is already shifting to Week 3, with coach Todd Monken calling the NFL a week-to-week league before the Browns’ home opener against Carolina on Sept. 27.
