Jacoby Brissett’s time as the starter for the Cleveland Browns may be coming to an end with the return of Deshaun Watson from his suspension on the horizon, but the stand-in is enjoying himself
The Cleveland Browns pulled off a surprise win over Ohio rivals the Cincinnati Bengals last night, and quarterback Jacoby Brissett was clearly enjoying himself in front of the Monday Night Football cameras.
The Browns went into the game on a four-game losing streak and a defeat to Joe Burrow and the Bengals could have put their hopes of a play-off run on the brink, but they were dominant throughout FirstEnergy Stadium, winning 32-13 to improve to 3-5.
Brissett is in a strange position as the starting QB and the leader of the team, but only for a finite period, with monster-trade acquisition Deshaun Watson’s suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy ending in time for the Week 13 visit to the Houston Texans.
The former Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots quarterback is having fun while it lasts, throwing for 278 yards and a touchdown in Monday’s win over their AFC North rivals.
