Browns struggle offensively in Week 1 under Deshaun Watson

The Cleveland Browns faced criticism for their offensive performance in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 13, 2026. Quarterback Deshaun Watson and head coach Todd Monken were at the center of the blame as the Browns showed disappointing efficiency, particularly under center. Analysis indicates that Cleveland's offense was far behind the league average, with some metrics showing they were four times worse than most other teams. Following the poor results, Monken may need to adjust his approach to improve performance, especially regarding play selection. The implications for running back Quinshon Judkins and the offensive line remain uncertain as the team prepares for their next game.
