Deshaun Watson Gets Poor QB Grade for Performance vs Ravens

Bleacher Report gave Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson a C- quarterback grade for his performance against the Baltimore Ravens. 

Watson went 16-of-26 through the air for 164 passing yards. He was sacked five times.

The Browns beat the Ravens by a final score of 13-10. Watson led Cleveland to only one touchdown. Audric Estime scored a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. 

Watson led his fourth game-winning drive of the 2026 season in the Browns’ Week 6 victory over the Ravens. That ties Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix for the most game-winning drives in the NFL this season.

Watson's four game-winning drives are already the most in a season for a Browns QB since Baker Mayfield in his 2018 rookie season. Watson had just one game-winning drive in his Browns career entering 2026 and it came in 2023 against the Ravens.  

Cleveland is 4-2 and undefeated at home this season. Watson has 1,174 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, two interceptions and 196 rushing yards through six games. 

For as maligned as Watson's tenure with Cleveland has been, some NFL teams believe it's bad business to pay a player $46 million not to play.

It would be stunning if the Browns' 2027 starter is someone on the current roster, but you can't always forecast what this franchise is going to do.

The Browns face the Tennessee Titans next week. Cleveland will be favored to win that game, as the Titans are only 1-5. 

Watson enters the Browns-Titans game with 19,078 career passing yards and 130 career touchdown passes with the Houston Texans and Browns. His starting record is 41-37-0.

In 25 games with Cleveland, Watson's starting record is 13-12. The former Clemson star has 4,539 passing yards and 26 passing touchdowns in a Browns uniform. 

Shedeur Sanders now has formal representation after entering the NFL without an agent. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sanders will be represented by Adie von Gontard of Young Money APAA Sports. The agency also represents his former college teammate, Travis Hunter.    

Sanders finished his rookie season with 1,400 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 169 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. He went 3-4 as a starter.

The Browns like how much Sanders has developed under Todd Monken, and with no definitive long-term answer at QB, they are not motivated to move him or anyone else in the room right now.

The Minnesota Vikings traded J.J. McCarthy to the New York Giants, who lost starter Jaxson Dart for the season. If another team loses a starting QB, it will be intriguing to see if the Browns get trade calls on Sanders.
