This game has to be one of the more disappointing offensive performances during the Kevin Stefanski era as the Cleveland Browns fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. After Nick Chubb left the game with an injury the offense couldn’t find any real sustained success the rest of the night. Fans are left with major questions about the direction of the offense and team with Deshaun Watson playing so poorly yet again.
The Steelers’ defense came to play, but Watson at times made it easy for them as he struggled to process the defense in front of him all night long. He held onto the ball far too long against this talented of a front and some of the missed throws were borderline laughable.
Buy Browns TicketsWithout Chubb, this offense lacks any real identity and now Kevin Stefanski and his coaching staff have to figure out where to go from here. If Watson continues to play at this level it will be a long season for the Browns.
The Steelers did not run a play in the red zone. They had nine first downs and were 4/14 on third down.

The irony of a QB getting called for two facemask penalties but having the blatant facemask on him missed after getting his helmet twisted sideways.

I have a feeling Watson is going to look a lot worse that it feels real time on the all-22.
This feels baker-ish

The o-line was bad but it didn’t help with Watson consistently running himself into trouble.

Pathetic – made us all out to be fools through these first two games. Could still turn it around, but there’s a LOT of work to do. https://t.co/0ryhfz37yR

losing to an offense that scores 6 points is comical

The signs continue to point to Stefanski and Watson not working well together…
We all know who goes first, if that trend continues.#Browns

Thought the Browns would win as long as watson didn’t commit turnovers. Nope. Sample size is starting to get big here…

We just need Deshaun Watson to start passing the ball as well as he blocks in the run game…
