HOUSTON — Quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled in his first game back playing against his former team.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Despite NRG Stadium being half-empty, Watson was loudly booed before every Browns snap throughout the game.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
