Browns bounce back with win over Jaguars

Why it matters: After failing to show up in the season opener, the Browns bounced back behind quarterback Deshaun Watson and a strong defensive effort.

All eyes were on Watson last week after another lawsuit was filed against him alleging sexual assault.

By the numbers: Watson threw for just 186 yards, but rushed for a touchdown in the first quarter to give Cleveland an early lead.

• Yes, but: Wide receiver Amari Cooper dropped a beautiful pass from Watson that could have put the Browns further ahead in the second quarter.

Plays of the game: With the game on the line and less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Browns punter Corey Bojorquez pinned the Jags inside the two-yard line.

• On the next play, the Browns sacked Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a safety to help clinch the game.

What's next: Cleveland hosts the New York Giants at Huntington Bank Field this Sunday at 1pm.

The bottom line: The Browns avoided going 0-2 while arguably competing in the NFL's toughest division.
