Deshaun Watson shines as Browns defeat Steelers on Thursday Night Football
"Deshaun Watson shines as Browns defeat Steelers on Thursday Night Football" is the CBS Sports HQ recap of Cleveland's Week 4 win, with Bryant McFadden, Ryan Wilson and Damien Woody around the desk. It passed 50,000 views within a day, well ahead of everything else the channel posted. That game already led the channel's picks earlier in the week, as we reported here, so the recap closes a loop.
There is a small irony in it, too. A day before kickoff, Leger Douzable and Pete Prisco used their bold predictions segment to call three total touchdowns from Watson and a Browns win. In the recap's comments, viewers talk about a quarterback who looks like his Houston self again, argue over whether this young Browns roster is for real, and a few are simply glad to see Woody back on TV. One fan adds a stat of their own about Pittsburgh's long dry spell in Cleveland with anyone other than Ben Roethlisberger under center.
The rest of the fifteen uploads look ahead. John Breech and JP Acosta preview Rams-Eagles, with Puka Nacua expected back. Sony Michel and Jordan Poyer, two former players who know Foxborough and Orchard Park well, take Patriots-Bills. Chris Hassel, Danny Kanell and Charles Davis went to Iowa for the No. 5 Ohio State visit. A short sketch asking whether it is 2026 or 2016 slipped in among them.
The channel ran close to its usual daily pace. Among the sports media channels around its size, the louder weeks belonged to First Things First, The Rich Eisen Show and SPORTSNET, all running at roughly twice their normal level.
