Deshaun Watson Just Handed Todd Monken a 24-Yard Preseason Masterpiece

Deshaun Watson is currently fighting for his NFL life, and he just submitted a 3-for-8, 24-yard, one-interception masterpiece to the jury.

Todd Monken is reportedly making his decision on Cleveland's starting quarterback early next week, which means Watson just handed in a blank test right before the bell rang. Mike Garafolo reported the interception came on a tipped high throw, capping off a brutal outing that will make the film room a very uncomfortable place.

"Mike Garafolo reported Watson was picked on a tipped high throw and that Todd Monken will make a QB decision early next week."

The Cleveland Browns are currently getting smoked 24-7 by the Buffalo Bills in preseason action, and Watson's stat line is the exact opposite of what you want when you are trying to hold off a rookie. ESPN reports this is a direct battle between Watson and Shedeur Sanders for the top job, and one guy is clearly leaving the door wide open.

Throwing for 24 yards on eight attempts is the kind of efficiency you usually only see from a punter running a fake. If you are holding a ticket on Cleveland's win total this year, watching this offense try to function is enough to make you delete your sportsbook app entirely.

This is not just a normal camp battle. This is a franchise trying to figure out if they can finally pull the plug on one of the most disastrous fully guaranteed contracts in sports history, or if they have to pretend everything is fine for another grueling season.

Monken has a few days to look at the tape, but the math is already getting loud. We will know early next week if Cleveland is ready to hand the keys to Sanders or if they are going to ride the Watson experience until the wheels completely fall off.
