This game, regardless of the Houston Texans’ or Cleveland Browns’ potency, was circled on the calendar for a reason. Deshaun Watson’s return to NRG Stadium to face his former team, despite what Watson and the Browns may want to believe, was an event that existed beyond football. But, when the game began, any sense of vengeance or closure from one of the most controversial players in Texans history was replaced by the numbing mediocrity that Texans fans have gotten all too used to experiencing on Sunday afternoons.
