Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson got off to a terrible start in his Week 1 outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and fans thought he had the most pathetic reaction to it.
Watson was intercepted on his first drive of the season at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. His second drive resulted in a very quick three-and-out, which seemed to confirm many of the fears about how Cleveland’s offense would perform with him playing quarterback.
The Jaguars were able to put up 14 points in the first quarter to jump out to a big lead. Just after Jacksonville’s second touchdown, cameras cut to Watson cleaning the visor of his helmet on the bench.

Naturally, there were plenty of jokes mockingly accusing Watson of blaming his visor for his poor performance.

No, these two events are probably unrelated, but Watson has been so bad the joke writes itself.
Watson went 8/13 in the first quarter for 75 yards. He was intercepted once and also fumbled, though the Browns managed to retain possession. The worst part for Browns fans is that based on how they treated Watson during preseason, none of this will come as a surprise to them.
