## Resource

The Browns are sticking with Deshaun Watson as their Week 1 starter, ignoring Shedeur Sanders despite a rough preseason and mounting criticism. While Watson’s stats weren’t stellar and the team admits the trade was a “swing-and-miss,” head coach insists he’s the best option to move the ball. Fans booed him, but he apologized — though the backlash persists. Sanders remains backup, and with Watson’s strong history against Jacksonville, the Browns face a familiar dilemma: continuing down a troubled path or trying to turn things around.
