The Cleveland Browns secured a stunning victory against the Indianapolis Colts, with Myles Garrett delivering an exceptional performance. However, the Deshaun Watson saga overshadowed the game as Watson, who returned from a three-week absence due to a rotator cuff strain, was benched after completing only 1 of 5 passes for five yards. Backup quarterback PJ Walker led the Browns to victory, but questions arise about the sustainability of not playing a franchise quarterback for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Garrett's dominant performance makes him a favorite for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. The Browns' defense remains strong, but their offense has struggled both with and without Watson.
