The Cleveland Browns picked up their first win of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Browns picked up a 23 - 19 road win, with QB Deshaun Watson outplaying former Brown, Baker Mayfield.

HC Todd Monken praised Watson and the team's overall mentality after the game.

Speaking on ESPN Cleveland, radio host Tony Rizzo also praised Deshaun Watson's performance, saying that no one in Cleveland foresaw Watson turning it out in Week 2:

"You talk about revenge? Redemption? It was all for Deshaun. He played a hell of a game. Go back and watch some of the throws that kid made. I know it's one week. We're gonna take a deep breath. I gotta give it up for Todd Monken. I do, because I don't know how he saw what he saw in practice and in the first game, because none of us saw it. If you say you did, you're lying. Not one person thought that that kid was gonna turn it around like that." (via ESPN Cleveland)

Deshaun Watson impressed in the Browns win

In Sunday's win, Deshaun Watson looked a lot like the player the Browns traded from the Texans four years ago. Tony Rizzo praised Watson's poise and perfomance on the field, saying that Watson lead the team from the front:

"He looked like Deshaun Watson when he led the league in passing. He was poised. He didn't turn the ball over. And, by the way, the Browns couldn't run the ball for s**t, and they still won that game. You know who won that game? Watson won that game. End of story. Watson."

The Browns play their first home game of the season next as they welcome the Carolina Panthers.
