HOUSTON -- Quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled in his first game back
playing against his former team.

Returning from an 11-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal
conduct policy by committing sexual assault, as defined by the league,
Watson failed to lead the Cleveland Browns on a touchdown drive Sunday
against the Houston Texans.

Cleveland still defeated the league's worst team 27-14 behind two
defensive touchdowns and a punt-return score from Donovan Peoples-Jones --
the first time in 33 years the Browns scored three non-offensive
touchdowns in a game.

Watson completed 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards in his first regular-season
game in exactly 700 days. He also threw an interception in the end zone
that negated Cleveland's best offensive scoring opportunity.

Although NRG Stadium was half-empty, Watson was loudly booed before every
Browns snap throughout the game.

"They're supposed to boo," Watson said. "I'm a Cleveland Brown now, and
we're on the road, so they're supposed to boo."

Coach Kevin Stefanski said of Watson's performance: "Obviously you're
missing a bunch of time. So you've got to get back in it. You've got to
get this first one out of the way. But I know what the kid is capable of."

The Browns traded for Watson in March, sending the Texans three first-
round draft picks. Cleveland then signed Watson to a five-year deal worth
$230 million guaranteed, the richest contract in NFL history.

Watson demanded a trade from the Texans after the 2020 season. He was then
accused by more than two dozen women of sexual assault and other sexual
misconduct during massage sessions before he sat out the entire 2021
season.

A few of those women had planned to attend Sunday's game, according to
their attorney Tony Buzbee, who had said he would be at the game with
them.

Over the summer, Watson agreed to settle 23 of the 24 civil lawsuits
against him. Two lawsuits against him remain outstanding, including one
filed on Oct. 13. Two other women filed criminal complaints against Watson
but did not sue him.

Watson wasn't charged criminally. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing
and said people haven't been interested in hearing his side of the story.

As part of the suspension settlement between the NFL and the NFL Players
Association, Watson also had to pay a $5 million fine and participate in a
treatment program.

On Thursday, speaking for the first time since August, Watson refused to
answer any "non-football questions."

After Sunday's game, Watson was asked whether he had any remorse for the
actions the league described as "predatory" and "egregious," which led to
his suspension. Once again, Watson declined to answer those questions.

"That's something that, legal and clinical, we've answered before. And
they don't want me to address anything like that," he said. "Of course, it
was a tough situation. The suspension was tough. But at the same time, my
main focus is just trying to be 1-0 as a football player today.

"I was just excited to be back on the field today. I did everything that I
was asked and was required to do. I did all that. And I was able to play
and be on the field today."

Watson took a break during his pregame warm-up Sunday to sign autographs
for fans, some wearing his No. 4 Browns or Texans jersey. Watson also
posed for selfies and photographs with fans.

Sarah Flores, a Houston season-ticket holder who had her red Texans No. 4
jersey signed by Watson, said she believed Watson was "100%" innocent of
the allegations made against him.

"Somebody as successful as he is would never go and jeopardize his career
like that," she said.

Outside the stadium in the parking lot, a Texans tailgate set up a mock
massage table with a mannequin wearing Watson's Texans jersey with a sign
that said, "complimentary unlicensed massages!!! Now serving #4."

Nearby, a fan was wearing an orange Browns shirt with "FREE WATSON" on the
front and "ALL HE WANTED WAS A HAPPY ENDING" on the back. As the fan
walked up to NRG Stadium, he led a "Here we go Brownies" chant alongside a
pair of women wearing brown-colored Watson jerseys.

Inside, a Texans fan held up a sign that read: "I would rather be 1-9-1
than have Deshaun Watson as my quarterback."

Stewart Mathieson, a Houston fan from Scotland who bought pregame sideline
passes for this game, repurposed his blue Texans Watson jersey with the
message "JUSTICE 4 WOMEN." The front of the jersey had the words "BROWNS
SHAME" stitched below the No. 4.

"Some of my Browns friends [in Scotland] have given up supporting the team
because of Watson," said Mathieson, who flew in for the game with his
nephew, Christopher. "Am I going to boo him? Yeah, I'm going to boo him."
