Browns fans don't hold back showing Deshaun Watson exactly how they feel

The Cleveland Browns are desperate for some home cooking in Week 7. Perhaps no one is more desperate for just one comfortable outing for the team than QB Deshaun Watson, who continues to land last in every quarterback metric possible ahead of the team's big divisional contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.
