What happened: Deshaun Watson said he expected a different response after spending two years working back and investing time in the city and community. He said his comments were not intended as an attack on fans who have supported him.
Why it matters: The remarks shift attention to whether Watson can rebuild trust with Cleveland fans before the regular season. His $40.9 million cap hit leaves the club heavily invested in that outcome.
By the numbers: Watson completed 5 of 12 passes for 36 yards with an interception Saturday.
What to watch: Cleveland opens the regular season on Sept. 13.
