NASHVILLE — Deshaun Watson keeps leading his team on winning drives, and the 31-year-old quarterback’s career revival is keeping the Cleveland Browns atop the AFC North Division.
Watson led a winning drive in the fourth quarter for the fifth time this season Sunday, connecting with Harold Fannin Jr. on a 36-yard catch-and run that set up Andre Szmyt’s 32-yard field goal as time expired in Cleveland’s 27-24 victory against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
“He has something in him to be able to make plays when it counts,” first-year Cleveland head coach Todd Monken said.
Watson also ran for a touchdown and threw for 308 yards.
“Being in this league for 10 years now, I understand that a lot of games are going to come down to that, if not every game,” Watson said. “So if we’re close enough in it and we have those opportunities, we’ve just got to lock in and … that’s where the pressure (is), and the most important (thing), you’ve got to really be on your P’s and Q’s.”
