Browns’ ‘party at Deshaun’s’ post has fans feeling uncomfortable appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Cleveland Browns improved to an improbable record of 5-2 on Sunday afternoon with a narrow road win over the Tennessee Titans. The Browns got behind by 14 points early in this game, but quarterback Deshaun Watson was able to engineer his fifth game-winning drive of the season and lead Cleveland to victory via a field goal as time expired.
After the game, the Browns took to social media to post a picture of Watson with the caption, ‘Party at Deshaun’s,’ and fans were not exactly feeling the post.
“The Browns social media team really saw the one topic guaranteed to make everyone uncomfortable and hit ‘post’ anyway,” wrote one fan on Reddit.

“Yeah, that’s gonna be a no from me,” wrote another.
The criticism centered on the fact that Watson was accused of sexual assault by dozens of women dating back to his days as the Houston Texans’ quarterback, settling the majority of the cases out of court and facing a lengthy suspension from the NFL.
The Browns traded for him in the middle of that controversy, earning themselves a wide array of criticism from the NFL world and their own fanbase, and while Watson’s winning ways with Cleveland this year have helped quiet things down at least temporarily, clearly, most fans aren’t comfortable with the team fully shining the spotlight on their quarterback.
Meanwhile, on the field, the Browns as a whole have defied expectations this year, sitting in first place in the AFC North in a year in which many expected them to be competing for the number one overall pick.
Cleveland will next hit the field on November 1 for a road game vs the Pittsburgh Steelers.
