Deshaun Watson may be on his way to remaining a Cleveland Brown once his record-setting $230-million contract ends after this season.
After halftime of Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the much-maligned quarterback had 14 completions for 181 yards and a touchdown to Harold Fannin Jr. He also orchestrated two rushing touchdowns, with Quinshon Judkins and Jaleel McLaughlin scoring one each to establish a 21-10 lead.
