Amid leading his team to an upset win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson caught Bruce Springsteen's guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt‘s eye.
During the game, Little Steven took to X, formerly Twitter, to ask a question most fans are asking. He couldn't believe the recent turnaround he has witnessed.
“I want to know what's gotten into Deshaun Watson? Just as everybody on Earth counted him out, he is looking remarkably back to form,” he wrote.
He later wrote, “Good game,” on X following the Browns' upset win over the Steelers. Cleveland went up 27-24 with a late field goal before Aaron Rodgers threw an interception to seal the game.
Deshaun Watson has led the Browns to a 3-1 record after beating the Steelers
Not many saw the Browns leading the AFC North. Currently, they are in sole possession of first place in the division at 3-1. However, the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals, who are both 2-1, have chances to tie them this weekend with wins.
It has been a surprising turnaround for the Browns. They have won three straight games after being blown out by the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. Since then, they have narrowly beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Carolina Panthers, and now the Steelers in one-score games.
Watson has thrown for 855 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while completing over 69% of his passes through four contests. He has also rushed for 127 yards.
This has been a surprising rebound for Watson as well. He has been awful since joining the Browns, failing to regain his Houston Texans form.
The 31-year-old quarterback was previously accused of sexual assault by a massage therapist. Over 20 more women came forward with allegations. He didn't play at all in 2021 and was suspended for 11 games in 2022.
