Deshaun Watson finally finds the endzone and Cleveland Browns Stadium explodes

The Browns are on the board as Deshaun Watson extends the lead to 10 against the Bengals

The Cleveland Browns have extended their lead over the Cincinnati Bengals heading into the locker rooms for halftime of this Week 1 matchup. After new kicker Dustin Hopkins drilled a kick to give the Browns a 3-0 lead over the defending AFC North champs, quarterback Deshaun Watson has now tucked the football and scored himself to give the Browns a 10-0 lead.

He was sprung free by great blocks from left tackle Jedrick Wills and right guard Wyatt Teller on the quarterback counter.

While Watson has not had a stellar half, missing open targets throughout the first 30 minutes, he sits at 10-of-20 for 85 yards through the air. He has added another 32 yards and a score on the ground as well with his legs. On the other side of the field, the highest-paid quarterback in the league in Joe Burrow has just 36 yards on 6-of-14 passing.

The Browns will also get the ball back to start the second half with a chance to double-dip.
