Kevin Stefanski announces QB decision after loss to Eagles

The Cleveland Browns looked like a competent team at times on Sunday, but the results didn't change as the AFC North squad failed to top 20 points or total 250 offensive yards in today's 20-16 loss.

Part of the problem was a stagnant offense that didn't get the football moving until the second half.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson finished the game 16 of 23 for 168 yards, but the Browns did not score an offensive touchdown against the Eagles.

After the game, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot shared head coach Kevin Stefanski's decision on Watson as he announced the quarterback will be back under center when the team returns home to face the Cincinnati Bengals next week.

“Stefanski said he's sticking around after that loss to Deshaun Watson Eagles,” Cabot shared from the team’s press conference after the loss.

Watson wasn't entirely to blame for the loss, as the veteran quarterback played better than in his previous game against the Washington Commanders, a game in which he finished with a QBR ranking in Single Digital territory for the second time this season .

Once again, the season's recurring theme of porous offensive line play remained as the Browns' only red zone foray of the game failed after rookie guard Zak Zinter was penalized for a false start, depriving the team of a manageable third-and-goal pushed back.

Cleveland couldn't get any closer and settled for a field goal with 3:54 to play, the last time the Browns had the football offensively in the contest.
