Browns' Kevin Stefanski explains why he's sticking with Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski is shockingly sticking with starting quarterback Deshaun Watson after a 1-5 start to the season.

For weeks, the NFL world has been calling for Stefanski to substitute Watson for Jameis Winston. Watson has struggled mightily this season, posting one embarrassing statistic after another. For example, Watson completed 27 drives before finally converting on a third down play on Sunday.

Despite all the criticism, Stefanski is sticking with Watson. This is the answer he gave to reporters who asked him why he wouldn't start Winston instead.

“I think Deshaun gives us the best chance to win and continues to give us the best chance to win,” Stefanski told reporters Monday.

The Browns suffered their fourth straight loss, a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Three of the team's losses were determined by four to six points.

Watson has completed 122 of 199 pass attempts for 1,020 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. He was sacked 31 times, the highest number in the league. The second most is Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who was sacked 20 times. Watson posted a QBR of 76.6, which is in the bottom half of the league.

The Browns play at home on Sunday against the AFC North division rival Cincinnati Bengals. A Watson-led win would be huge for the Browns, but a loss could cause Stefanski to finally reevaluate who he wants as QB1.
