The Browns took down the Cardinals with a solid 27-0 win on Sunday, a game that marked the return of Deshaun Watson from the shoulder injury kept him on the sidelines.
The Browns played against rookie quarterback Clayton Tune, who didn’t pose much of a challenge, so what happened post-game was a bit more entertaining.
Cleveland 19 News, a local news station, decided to share some tweets from Browns fans during Watson’s press conference. The only problem was.. it seems they didn’t filter out the bad ones, and a couple of controversial tweets slipped through.
One tweet motioned Watson’s off-the-field issues, referring to the 26 sexual misconduct allegations that have been hanging over his head for the past two years.
It read, “The Browns are winning IN SPITE OF Deshaun Watson. #Predator.”

The Browns made a big investment in Watson by trading multiple 1st round picks and handing him a massive $230 million fully guaranteed contract in 2022. Yet, some believe he’s been nothing more than mediocre, making people wonder if he might be the worst trade in NFL history.
Another tweet the news station aired was about Browns’ former starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield.
It read, “If we had Baker Mayfield, this Browns team would be undefeated or have just one loss. Browns, I’ll stand by this. We were wrong getting rid of him when he was hurt.”
