Deshaun Watson Grilled by Fans as Browns QB Throws Pick-6 on First MNF Play: "Worst Things Happen to the Worst People"

Deshaun Watson's struggles continue as he throws an interception on the first snap of the game, fueling criticism from NFL fans.

Deshaun Watson, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, has faced criticism and lack of respect from other teams due to credible allegations of sexual misconduct. Despite not facing criminal charges, he has settled civil lawsuits and some are still ongoing.

During the Monday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was evident that many NFL fans were rooting against Watson. And he quickly gave his critics ammunition.

In the very first offensive play of the game, Watson threw a pass that was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Just nine seconds into the game, the Browns found themselves trailing 7-0.

What must have been frustrating for Watson is that the throw was not particularly poor. It was slightly ahead of the receiver but still catchable. However, it was tipped off and caught by a defender, who then lost control of the ball. Unfortunately for the Browns, a Steelers player managed to catch the loose ball and score a touchdown.

This interception became an opportunity for NFL fans to criticize Watson. Many saw it as karma for his off-field issues. Social media, particularly platform X (formerly known as Twitter), was filled with responses mocking the Browns quarterback.

However, the Pittsburgh Steelers also made mistakes that didn't help their case. Kenny Pickett, their quarterback, threw an interception on their first drive, giving the ball back to the Browns. Fortunately for Pickett, Watson couldn't capitalize on the opportunity and lead his team to a scoring drive. The Browns' kicking unit also missed a field goal.

Throughout the first quarter, both teams struggled offensively, highlighting the absence of a truly elite quarterback. Pickett, who is replacing the legendary Ben Roethlisberger, has had a challenging season so far, only scoring seven points in his first game.

On the other hand, the Browns have had a revolving door of starting quarterbacks since 1999, with Watson being the 34th. While he was considered an elite player during his time with the Houston Texans, his off-field issues and subsequent suspension have raised doubts about whether he can regain his previous form.

In conclusion, Deshaun Watson's performance in the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers fueled criticism from NFL fans. Both teams struggled offensively, highlighting their quarterback challenges. Watson's off-field issues continue to cast a shadow over his career, leaving uncertainty about his future performance.
