Deshaun Watson anticipates fan support for Browns' home opener

Quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was named the Cleveland Browns' starter last month, said he expects a supportive atmosphere from fans for the team's home opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Watson referenced the team's recent victory in Tampa during Week 2 and described the current locker-room environment as energetic.

"I don’t ever try to go to war with the fans," Watson told 92.3 The Fan. "Ready for support, ready to feel their energy, ready to get this big win for the city of Cleveland and continue this great feeling we have this week. That's my motto – just keep pushing forward and finding ways to win on Sunday. Take advantage of the opposing team and get a W."

The Browns' management confirmed Watson will remain the starting quarterback for the upcoming game.
