Cleveland's defense was expected to carry a lot of the load this season, but after what we saw in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, there's plenty to clean up. Watson's performance only makes that pressure greater for new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg.

In this episode, Nick Pedone breaks down Cleveland's defensive performance, what went wrong, and why the Browns can't afford to have another game like this on that side of the ball.

His response was pretty telling.

Watson dismissed the idea that he needs to put together a big performance to win back Cleveland fans, saying the expectation that he needs to throw for 400 yards and five touchdowns every week is media-driven.

But the numbers tell a different story.

Watson has never thrown for 300 yards in a game in a Browns uniform. He's thrown for 250+ yards just twice in 20 starts, and he's topped 200 passing yards only eight times.

With the Browns potentially entering Week 3 at 0-2, and with Watson already having been booed during the preseason at Huntington Bank Field, the relationship between Watson and Cleveland fans could be headed for another fascinating chapter.

So what happens if Watson starts against Carolina in Week 3?

And would Browns fans still boo him even if he plays well against Tampa Bay?
