Monken backs Watson for Week 2 start; sees film evidence of growth despite Week 1 loss.

Head coach Todd Monken confirmed Watson will start Week 2 against Tampa Bay despite a 34-10 Week 1 loss. Monken said there were "really good things on film" to build on; Watson completed 16-of-22 for 205 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Monken emphasized that when Watson had time and understood concepts, "he didn't play tentative, that he let it rip," and highlighted a TD pass to Denzel Boston on their No. 1 corner as evidence of good communication. Monken attributed offensive struggles to coaching and execution rather than Watson's play, noting the team had "too many Browns hurting Browns moments" and that Watson is "only going to continue to get better."
