Deshaun Watson struggles, is booed in return with Browns

HOUSTON -- Quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled in his first game back playing against his former team.

Returning from an 11-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy by committing sexual assault, as defined by the league, Watson failed to lead the Cleveland Browns on a touchdown drive Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Cleveland still defeated the league's worst team 27-14 behind two defensive touchdowns and a punt return score from Donovan Peoples-Jones -- the first time in 33 years the Browns scored three non-offensive touchdowns.

Watson completed just 12 of 22 passes for 131 yards in his first regular-season game in exactly 700 days.
