Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson ruptures Achilles, again

Deshaun Watson suffered a second Achilles tendon injury

The Cleveland Browns will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the foreseeable future, including significant time in the 2025 season. The controversial Watson suffered a second rupture of his right Achilles tendon and had surgery to fix the issue.

The Browns gave Watson a massive contract — $230 million — when acquired from the Houston Texans. It is generally regarded as the worst pact in NFL history given the returns on the field.

Watson has gone 9-10 in three seasons, throwing 19 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.

The Browns pick second overall in the 2025 draft and Watson’s injury should play a large role in whether they draft a quarterback.

Bo Nix throws 93-yard TD pass; Jameis Winston counters with 70-yarder

The Broncos and Browns traded long TD passes

The MNF broadcast mentioned how Bo Nix wasn’t seeing the field. How rookie QBs were 8-18-1 against Jim Schwartz’s defenses.

Good thing the Denver Broncos rookie QB couldn’t hear it. He stepped back into the end zone on third-and-11 and delivered a beautiful pass down the middle to Marvin Mims.

Mims took off after catching the throw and was gone. The play covered 93 yards and after Wil Lutz’s PAT, the Broncos led 28-17.

The Browns took the next kickoff at their 30 and Jameis Winston fired to ex-Bronco WR Jerry Jeudy.

Jeudy caught the pass in his revenge game and 70 yards later was in the end zone.

Jeudy also caught the two-point conversion pass and it was a 28-25 game.

Browns upend Steelers in snowstorm on Nick Chubb’s second TD of game

Nick Chubb’s second touchdown gives the Browns a win over the Steelers

There’s snow place like home for the Cleveland Browns.

In an absolute whiteout on Thursday, Nick Chubb scored his second touchdown of the game on a two-yard run with 57 seconds left and the Browns escaped with a 24-19 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC North clash.

In the fickle world of the NFL, Cleveland is 3-8, and has defeated the Steelers and Baltimore Ravens at home while losing there to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Steelers are 8-3, and all the losses have come to teams that now have sub-.500 records. In addition to losing to the Browns, the Steelers have lost to the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys.

The Browns looked to be in control of the game, taking an 18-6 lead midway through the fourth quarter on an acrobatic run by Jameis Winston and two-point conversion.

However, prosperity was not going to be easy for the Browns. Pittsburgh scored two touchdowns in 102 seconds to take a 19-18 lead. The second touchdown, a pass from Russell Wilson to Calvin Austin III was set up after the Steelers picked off a Winston pass.

The Browns’ final drive was anything but an artistic success in the snow. It was nine plays over 45 yards and took 2:25.

On the drive, Cleveland made its lone third-down conversion attempt of the game. The Browns wound up 1-of-10 on third down. In a weird coincidence, Cleveland was 4-of-4 on fourth down.

Cleveland Browns longtime announcer Jim Donovan dies at 68

Longtime Browns announcer Jim Donovan has died

The Cleveland Browns and the Dawg Pound will be mourning Sunday when the team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens. Longtime Browns announcer Jim Donovan died at 68 after a cancer battle.

“This is an incredibly difficult day for us and the entire Cleveland Browns organization,” Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said. “His impact as the Voice of the Browns for 25 years is immeasurable as he touched the lives of our fans each and every Sunday with his love for the Browns and his brilliance at his craft.

“He will be greatly missed, but he cemented a legacy that will live on forever. The only thing that outweighed his love for this city and this team was the love he had for his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Cheryl, his daughter, Meghan, and everyone who was fortunate enough to call Jimmy family or friend.”

Per Cleveland Browns.com:

In a letter Donovan penned to Browns fans at the end of the 2024 preseason, Donovan announced he was stepping away from the Browns Radio Network to focus on his battle with cancer, which had returned and in an aggressive manner. Donovan was inducted into the 2024 Class of Browns Legends on Sept. 22, alongside K Phil Dawson, who personally notified Donovan of the news shortly before the ceremony. Donovan’s daughter, Meghan, accepted the Browns Legends jacket on behalf of Donovan during the ceremony.

“He kept it real, but he kept a positive tone to it,” Dawson said of Donovan’s calls. “He just always could find that balance – authentic, real, accurate, but he was still supportive, even when there wasn’t a whole lot to support. And I know the players appreciated that. I know I certainly appreciated that. He was always quick to try to provide context, rather than letting people just focus on an individual moment. He just really had a knack for seeing the big picture. It was always ‘Go Browns,’ yet he kept it real and accurate, so that everybody understood what was going on.”

 

The Guardians offered their condolences.
