Watson’s Return Falls Short | NFL News

from NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Deshaun Watson made his first appearance since Achilles injuries, playing the entire first half and throwing for 126 yards on 11-of-15 passes — but analytics reveal a troubling pattern: nearly all throws were short, with just two deep attempts. A fumble and a lackluster offensive output (only 10 points scored while he was on the field) didn’t help his case. Coach Todd Monken praised Watson’s attitude and effort, even calling it “awesome,” but also criticized his decision-making, including unnecessary timeouts and penalties. With Shedeur Sanders equally unimpressive, the QB battle remains wide open — and Monken must give both players every chance before naming the starter for the Jaguars game on September 12th.
