Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson addressed his performance after being sacked eight times in the team's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Watson acknowledged the pressure and said he needs to avoid trying to make heroic plays under duress.
"Don't try to be a hero," Watson told reporters. He emphasized the importance of getting rid of the ball quickly and trusting the offense's design. The eight sacks tied a career high for Watson and highlighted the Steelers' dominant pass rush.
The Browns' offensive line struggled to contain Pittsburgh's front seven, leaving Watson under constant pressure. Cleveland's coaching staff said they will review protection schemes ahead of their next game.
