It was great<\/a>. It was amazing. I just wanted to finish the job for them,\u201d Watson said of the fans, via Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. \u201cThere was one moment where I got a little teary-eyed, feeling that energy. I\u2019ve put in so much work to get here, to be in this moment here and to be able to show I can finish these drives, and finish these games to get W\u2019s for this city and this organization.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is what all the hard work, belief, prayers, everything that I have put myself through the last 22 months. To be able to stand in front of the crowd on that field and to finish the job. I want to keep improving and keep trying to get better each and every day, each week and we have a big one on Thursday [against the Steelers].\u201d<\/p>\n
After the home fans booed him last month, Watson made it worse by calling it \u201cdisrespectful\u201d and \u201cpersonal.\u201d He apologized a few days later, saying his \u201cemotions got the best of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The only way to win them over was to play well and win, and Watson has done both.<\/p>\n
The Browns are tied for first place with the other three teams in the division at 2-1, and Watson has completed 63.8 percent of his passes for 587 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. He also has run for 105 yards.<\/p>\n
He is the first Browns quarterback since Baker Mayfield in Weeks 14 and 15 of 2018 to lead game-winning touchdown drives in the fourth quarter of consecutive games, according to ESPN Research.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continued to feed off that energy of the crowd, and we wanted to make a special play,\u201d Watson said. \u201cI told the guys in the huddle, \u2018Man, just [believe] in me and I\u2019m going to use my legs.\u2019 Whenever that play comes up, make that play, and Harold did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns fans booed Deshaun Watson in the second half of a preseason game against the Bills.
