Monken thrilled with Watson's 'awesome' 1st half

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson played his first game since the 2024 season during a preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Saturday. In the first half of the game, Watson completed 10 of 15 passes for 126 yards and led two scoring drives for the Browns.

Following the performance, Browns offensive coordinator Todd Monken expressed enthusiasm, describing Watson's first-half showing as 'awesome.' Despite Watson's contributions, the Browns ultimately suffered a 34-10 loss to the Bears, with Watson's first-half drives accounting for the team's only points of the game.
