Deshaun Watson helped the Cleveland Browns overcome a two-hour weather delay in a 23-19 comeback over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.

Speaking to CBS reporter Tiffany Blackmon after the game, Watson explained how Cleveland maintained its focus during the extended weather stoppage with 2 minutes still left on the clock:

"We just believed. We were in the locker room, we were talking to each other. Defense—offense—going back and forth, and just kind of keep the energy up."

The Browns had trailed 16-6 before Watson helped spark the comeback. He connected with Denzel Boston for a 55-yard touchdown before finding Blake Whiteheart for the go-ahead score.

Watson also credited both sides of the ball for finishing the job:

"The defense came to us, the offense did their job, we gotta handle it. And they did at the end, so it was great to get a team win."

Cleveland's belief through the delay helped them finish the comeback and leave Tampa Bay with a win.
