Joe Burrow held to career-worst 82 yards passing days after he became NFL’s highest-paid player
Deshaun Watson ran for a touchdown and threw for another, and Cleveland’s defence bottled up Burrow – the NFL’s new highest-paid player – as the Browns opened the season with a 24-3 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Watson bolted for a 13-yard TD late in the first half, making the kind of dynamic play the Browns envisioned when they signed him to a $230 million contract in 2022. He missed 11 games last season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. “It’s tough,” Burrow said. “It’s one week, not up to our standard, not up to my standard. We’ll keep trucking.”
The Bengals pulled Burrow with 5:15 left, and he spent the remainder of the game watching with his arms folded on the bench. Out of timeouts, the Browns overloaded the right side before Watson took the snap and sprinted left for the end zone, getting a seal block from wide receiver Amari Cooper.
