A rusty Deshaun Watson comfortably leads Cleveland Browns past the Houston Texans, 27-14.
. The quarterback was back off his 11-game suspension and playing against his former team.
That allowed them to win their second consecutive game and improve to 5-7 heading into a critical AFC North back-to-back stretch starting next Sunday in Cincinnati.The Browns went the entire month of November without taking the ball away from an opponent. They changed that on the first play of December, although it took some help from replay review.
King's return put the Texans at the Browns 38. While they would get to the Cleveland 16, penalties would leave with with a 44-yard Ka'imi Fairbairn field goal for a 3-0 lead.Watson's best drive of the first half came on his third one. The problem was, that drive also ended with a terrible interception in the end zone that prevented the Browns from getting points.
The good vibes from the Browns' stand on defense lasted two plays. The Texans defense used the bad field position given to the Browns offense to add to their lead. Ward was once again perfectly positioned to pick up a loose ball and run it back early in the third quarter. This time, after Allen coughed up the ball deep in Houston territory, the Browns' Pro Bowl cornerback scooped it up at the Texans 4 and ran it in for a 14-5 lead with 10:10 remaining in the third quarter.
