    Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns (1-4) are reeling after suffering a 34-13 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The defeat marked their fourth loss of the season and third in a row.

    The game got out of hand early for Cleveland, who trailed 24-3 at halftime and 34-6 after three quarters before Watson passed for the Browns' lone touchdown of the day in garbage time.

    Watson was sacked seven times on Sunday and finished the game having completed 15-of-28 passes for a measly 125 yards, one touchdown and a passer rating of 77.2.

    After the game, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters , "We’re not changing quarterbacks."

    Aside from mounting frustration over Watson's play, many fans were saying the same thing on social media after Sunday's blowout loss.

    "The Cleveland Browns didn’t make the worst trade in the history of the NFL. They made the worst trade in the history of sports," a Browns fan account wrote .

    "The Deshaun Watson trade is the worst in NFL history. It’s set the organization back years," another fan echoed .

    "The best part about the Browns being absolute a** is that we can now say, without trolling, the Deshaun Watson trade was the worst trade in the history of the NFL and will have set them back at least 5 years," another said .

    "I still think the Herschel Walker trade is the worst of all time but the Deshaun Watson trade might surpass it," USA Today's Mike Freeman wrote .

    "The Browns Deshaun Watson trade is making the Vikings trade for Herschel Walker look like a steal," someone else chimed in .

    In trading for Watson in March 2022, Cleveland sent the Houston Texans three first-round picks (2022, 2023, 2024), a third-rounder (2023) and a pair of fourth-rounders (2022, 2024).

    As part of the deal, Watson, now 29 years old, signed a historic five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract with the Browns. The deal runs through the end of the 2026 NFL season.

    Cleveland will look to get back into the win column in Week 6 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (2-2). Through five weeks, Watson is averaging just 170 passing yards per game.

    Such an idiotic trade the Browns made! The owner, general manager, and coach need to go! I'm tired of this shit! If they start Watson this week, I hope everyone turns their TV off. It's time for the fans to boycott this crap product.
