The Cleveland Browns fell to 1-4 with a loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday after yet one more dispiriting efficiency by quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Watson has been one of many worst quarterbacks within the NFL coming into Week 5.

Observe alongside for reside protection of ‘Sunday Night time Soccer’

He started Sunday with a 23.6 quarterback ranking, final amongst all qualifying quarterbacks. His 181.8 yards per sport passing by means of 4 weeks was sixth worst amongst quarterbacks who performed at the least 4 video games.

After 5 video games, Watson has thrown for less than 5 touchdowns whereas tossing three interceptions.

It has been a downward development for Watson ever since he started taking part in for the Browns towards the tip of the 2022 season. His QBR in every of the final two seasons would have been within the backside third of the league, however he didn’t qualify in both season as a result of he didn’t play sufficient snaps.

Watson’s poor efficiency is one thing of a triple whammy for Cleveland: The crew is shedding video games, his contract is onerous, and former Browns quarterbacks are thriving with different groups.

Watson is just 9-8 in 17 video games as a starter over three seasons with Cleveland and has but to seem in a playoff sport.

In the meantime, he’s second amongst all quarterbacks in assured cash, with an rigid contract. If the Browns lower him earlier than June 1, they’d owe him $92 million whereas taking practically a $173 million hit in opposition to their wage cap. If Cleveland cuts Watson after that date, it could nonetheless incur over $86 million in penalties in every of the subsequent two seasons.

So as to add insult to harm, quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Joe Flacco have discovered success elsewhere.

Mayfield, the No. 1 total decide by Cleveland within the 2018 draft, gained a playoff sport for the franchise earlier than he was forged apart in favor of Watson. Mayfield gained a playoff sport with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers final season, and he has led them to a 3-2 report this yr, accounting for 13 touchdowns with solely two interceptions.

Even Watson’s former backup Flacco — who threw extra landing passes than Watson in fewer video games with the Browns final yr — is taking part in higher. Flacco has 5 touchdowns and no interceptions in two video games with the Indianapolis Colts. Flacco’s 359 yards Sunday had been greater than Watson has thrown in any sport with Cleveland.

All the struggles for the Browns and Watson have come within the wake of his sexual assault scandal, which successfully price him the 2021 season, in addition to the primary 11 video games of 2022.

In March and April 2021, 22 girls sued Watson claiming sexual misconduct to assault.

Cleveland nonetheless traded three first-round picks and two different draft picks for Watson in March 2022 and signed him on the time to what was the biggest contract — with probably the most assured cash — in NFL historical past.

On Sept. 9, a brand new accuser sued Watson alleging sexual assault and battery.

After Sunday’s loss, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski stood by Watson.

“We’re not altering quarterbacks,” he stated.

The Houston Texans pulled out a 23-20 win towards the Buffalo Payments in Week 5 at NRG Stadium, nevertheless it got here at a value.

Extensive receiver Nico Collins, who prolonged his league lead in receiving yards, suffered a hamstring harm on a 67-yard landing catch.

Coach DeMeco Ryans stated that Collins is “day-to-day” and that the crew will consider him because the week goes on.

This is also one other approach of claiming that the Texans aren’t absolutely positive what his standing is, particularly contemplating Ryans made these feedback moments after an emotional win. However the Texans will monitor his standing all through the week because the crew prepares to play the New England Patriots in Week 6.

If Collins has to overlook time, it is going to damage the Texans offense, however the crew has the personnel able to filling in for him.

“I believe he [Nico Collins] is the very best receiver in soccer,” quarterback C.J. Stroud stated postgame. “When he will get out the sport, it positively is hard on us.

I positively do assume we nonetheless have lots of different guys who step up too, so I believed they did a great job doing that. I believed ‘Hutch’ [Xavier Hutchinson] performed stable. Actually you need to discover a strategy to win. We did that at the moment. Positively hope Nico is okay and we are able to get him again as quickly as attainable, however I positively know that we have now lots of depth in that room.”

LANDOVER, Md. — Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels wore a diamond-studded No. 5 on a sequence round his neck as he addressed the media. For the previous 4 weeks, teammates say he has additionally worn an “S” on his chest as he helped construct a four-game profitable streak.

“He got here in like Superman,” security Jeremy Reaves stated.

And even on a day when that cape was tugged, Daniels nonetheless managed to make performs that brought about teammates to go “Wow” as he helped the Commanders proceed an inconceivable begin. After a 34-13 win over Cleveland on Sunday, Washington improved to 4-1 for the primary time since 2008.

“We is usually a actually scary group,” linebacker Bobby Wagner stated.

The Commanders have already matched their win whole from final season and have received consecutive video games by a mixed 49 factors coming into their Week 6 recreation at Baltimore.

“The vibes in listed here are actually excessive,” receiver Terry McLaurin stated.

It has led to some gamers — who’ve endured one storm after one other throughout their Washington tenure — to nearly pinch themselves to ensure it is actual. Many have been right here in the course of the turbulent interval wherein there have been a number of investigations into proprietor Dan Snyder and the tradition he created. Washington hasn’t had a profitable season since 2016 — just one present participant, punter Tress Approach, was on the roster that season. Followers deserted hope.

It is coming again. In droves.

Reaves, with the group since 2018, stated he instructed teammate Jeremy Chinn, who signed with Washington within the offseason, “I do not even know the right way to course of this. It is by no means been like this right here. I used to be nonetheless in center college [in 2008].”

Or as defensive deal with Jon Allen, in his eighth season right here, stated of the in a single day change within the group, “It is night time and day.”

A superb chunk of that distinction stems from Daniels and what he has executed in his first 5 video games. He grew to become the primary participant in NFL historical past to throw for greater than 1,000 yards and rush for at the very least 250 in his first 5 video games. He additionally set an NFL report for completion share within the first 4 video games of a season (82.1).

And even when he had his least correct day — he accomplished 14 of 25 passes — Daniels nonetheless made massive performs. On at the very least three events, he left a Browns participant pounding the bottom in frustration after permitting him to show the nook for an enormous run or throw.

One time, Daniels eluded a blitz from security Grant Delpit and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah by dashing to the skin — after which connecting with receiver McLaurin for a 66-yard acquire. One other time defensive finish Za’Darius Smith grabbed a chunk of Daniels’ jersey as he ran to the appropriate. It was practically a sack; as a substitute Daniels ran away from Smith for a 2-yard once more on third-and-1.

Daniels in the end ran 11 occasions for 82 yards, together with a 34-yarder. He related with receiver Dyami Brown for a 41-yard landing.

“He is a competitor,” working again Austin Ekeler stated. “He’s going to point out us stuff all yr that we will be like, ‘Wow.'”

However one cause Washington is extra excited is as a result of on Sunday, Daniels additionally confirmed that he is nonetheless a rookie. He tossed an interception on the aim line on one drive and was much less correct than in his first 4 video games.

Nevertheless, the protection dominated a struggling Browns offense, recording seven sacks, holding them to 212 yards and one-of-13 on third downs. Prior to now two weeks the protection has allowed simply 27 mixed factors.

It provides as much as a group having enjoyable once more for the primary time in a very long time. Gamers have talked about how a lot enjoyable they’ve going to work and taking part in with each other. After defensive finish Dante Fowler Jr. recorded a sack, middle Tyler Biadasz was on the sideline mimicking his “sweeper” celebration.

“I have not been part of a quote, ‘good tradition,'” stated Washington proper guard Sam Cosmi, who’s in his fourth season with the Commanders. “Slowly however absolutely I see it. It is actually cool to see, to be part of speaking and performing on it. I am enthusiastic about that.”

That power filtered into the stands at a stadium recognized for occasionally having hundreds of opposing followers. Any Browns followers have been drowned out Sunday.

“I am unable to give any regard for the previous,” Quinn stated. “What I can say, I believed there was a home-field benefit created.”

Allen credited Quinn for creating an lively environment. “There is a cause guys at all times comply with him across the league,” he stated.

However, in the long run, Daniels’ efficiency has been nearly as invigorating. Linebacker Frankie Luvu, who recovered a fumble and had 2.5 sacks Sunday, stated Daniels is already on the facility when he and Wagner arrive round “5 or 6 [a.m.].”

“To see that and what he does on Sundays, it isn’t stunning,” Luvu stated.

The second general choose has captivated the followers in Washington — and past.

“I’ve obtained individuals again dwelling [in Florida] who by no means watch the Commanders which can be blowing up my cellphone,” Reaves stated. “I get extra texts about him than about myself. That is loopy. I’ve by no means turned on my TV and seen something Commanders or I am on Twitter and Commanders is trending in a great way.”

However Daniels stays unimpressed. As somebody near him stated just lately: He did not come to Washington to win video games early within the season.

“I am simply excited for these guys to have this sense,” Daniels stated of the gamers who’ve been right here some time. “It is thrilling occasions. However we have now to get again to work. We’re on to the following week now.”

On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens escaped Cincinnati with a win that may solely be described as miraculous. Very like opposing groups have usually achieved to Baltimore, the Ravens overcame a double-digit deficit to ship the sport to additional time, after which win it after a classic Derrick Henry run. Whereas Lamar Jackson and the offense performed an distinctive recreation, the protection regarded utterly misplaced in opposition to Bengals QB Joe Burrow and firm. Let’s dive into the most important movers in inventory after the thrilling win.

Halfway by the fourth quarter, Jackson made arguably the play of the yr. After bobbling the snap, Jackson stiff-armed defensive finish Sam Hubbard into the dust after which fired an ideal throw again throughout the sphere to tight finish Isaiah Seemingly, all whereas being tackled out of bounds. After 5 weeks, Jackson seems even higher than final season and is as soon as once more within the early MVP dialog.

Zay Flowers, WR

The sophomore Flowers had arguably one of the best recreation of his younger profession in Cincinnati. Flowers’ utilization by 4 weeks had been largely criticized resulting from his lack of involvement down the sphere. Luckily, offensive coordinator Todd Monken was capable of rapidly establish the susceptibility on the again finish of the Bengals protection and used the gifted Flowers to take advantage of it. Flowers torched the Bengals secondary all-day and was Jackson’s go-to-guy on many essential moments within the recreation. Flowers will look to construct on this efficiency and additional solidify his position because the No.1 broad receiver within the Ravens offense.

Tight ends

Baltimore went into season believing they’d one of the best tight finish room within the NFL, and it actually regarded that method on Sunday. Whereas followers have grow to be accustomed to Isaiah Seemingly and Mark Andrews catching passes, third-string tight finish Charlie Kolar additionally balled out with 3 receptions for 64 yards and a landing. Seemingly added two touchdowns on three catches and Mark Andrews had a bounce again recreation with 55 yards on 4 catches.

Todd Monken, OC

The sport plan from the Bengals was clear: cease the run. Whereas Baltimore wasn’t utterly shut down on the bottom, it was clear the Bengals have been promoting out in opposition to Baltimore’s prime ranked dashing assault. Monken rapidly adjusted and play-actioned the Cincinnati protection to loss of life within the second half. The Ravens dominant run recreation gained’t all the time look as nice because it did in opposition to Buffalo however video games like this present they’ve the horses to counter opponents after they sellout in opposition to Henry and Jackson.

Inventory Down

Zach Orr, DC

After an excellent defensive efficiency in opposition to Josh Allen and the Payments, the Ravens protection had their worst recreation since their 2022 shootout with the Miami Dolphins. Whereas the gamers on the sphere are those really enjoying the sport, there needs to be some accountability for the particular person main the group. Going in opposition to an offense like Cincinnati’s will all the time be a tricky check. Nonetheless, too many instances it appeared like gamers have been out of place, or unable to acknowledge sure personnel groupings or conditions that will warrant a particular sort of protection. The Ravens had some success blitzing Burrow within the first half however struggled to get dwelling within the second half. Merely put, there’s an excessive amount of expertise on this protection for them to be placing out one of these efficiency. Orr and firm might want to alter quick with QB Jayden Daniels and the red-hot Commanders coming to city on Sunday.

Marcus Williams, S

It’s been fairly the tough begin to the yr for Williams who the Ravens signed to a 5-year, $70 million contract earlier than the 2022 season.

Nonetheless, accidents took their toll on Williams who has struggled to remain wholesome the previous two seasons. Now, lastly wholesome, Williams is someway wanting worse than he was final yr when he was enjoying with one arm on account of a pec damage he suffered earlier within the season. PFF presently has Williams graded because the worst security within the NFL, validating the attention check Ravens followers have seen by 5 weeks.

Brandon Stephens, CB

Stephens had a breakout season in 2023, establishing himself as a borderline lockdown cornerback all through the earlier yr. This season has been a special story. Stephens has been picked on all yr and has let up a number of yards. Prior issues about Stephens not having the ability to find the soccer have resurfaced as opposing quarterbacks have been exploiting him on again shoulder throws. Stephens has drawn some robust receiver assignments however must be higher if the Ravens protection is to enhance.

Linebackers

Whereas the Ravens have been torched throughout the sphere on Sunday, the protection has notably struggled to shrink the center of the sphere for opponents. The Ravens are asking rather a lot from Roquan Smith on protection proper now. Through the Buffalo recreation, Zach Orr pivoted to a dime protection that gave QB Josh Allen points. Whereas it was profitable in opposition to Buffalo’s subpar receiving unit, it was rapidly picked aside by Burrow who discovered success throughout the center of the sphere and on slant routes, notably within the redzone. The Ravens clearly don’t belief Trenton Simpson in go protection, and because of this are transferring S Kyle Hamilton into his spot on passing downs. Orr is placing Hamilton and Smith in a tricky spot, but it surely doesn’t change the truth that they’ve allowed too many completions throughout the center of the sphere and for opposing quarterbacks to search out simple throwing home windows.
