Deshaun Watson has not solved any problems for the Browns

Cleveland was under the premise that the return of Deshaun Watson would fix all their issues that they have experienced for decades. It turns out that being away from football for about two years does not help a player when he returns from said sabbatical. The Browns are playing him a hefty salary to lose most of these remaining games.

The Steelers will be seeing the Browns in a couple of weeks when the season comes to a close. Both clubs have been experiencing the same frustrations as the year went along. Injuries and question marks at the quarterback position have limited these two rosters that have been able to produce good defensive performances for most of the season.

Baltimore Ravens (9-4) vs Cleveland Browns (5-8), Saturday at 4:30 P.M. EST

Losing to the Bengals last week took away any playoff hope that the Browns tried to hold onto. Now they head home to take on another tough opponent that leads the harsh AFC North. Baltimore is coming off a huge road win against the Steelers and will look to continue their division lead further.

Lamar Jackson is a big question mark for this game, especially on a short week as he deals with injury. Baltimore’s defense is going to be another tough matchup for Watson to overcome. Cleveland will have a better shot at winning this game if Jackson cannot play, but the Ravens should be able to find a way to win.
