Browns Head Coach Speaks On Quarterback Situation

His first game back did not go so well.

However, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Deshaun Watson will start in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, despite looking pretty out of shape in his first game back last week.

Stefanski said, ''Deshaun is our quarterback. We're focused on having a really good week of practice and having a great day on Sunday.''

In Watson's first game back, he completed 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. However, the Browns' special teams and defense won the game and gave Watson a win in his return to Houston.

With the Browns at 5-7, there's not much room for error if the team wants to keep their playoff hopes alive, but Stefanski is sticking with Watson over Jacoby Brissett, who performed well while filling in over the first 12 weeks of the season.

It will be interesting to see how Watson performs this Sunday against the red-hot Bengals.
