Browns’ Deshaun Watson protector sounds off on QB’s brutal 8-sack ordeal vs. Jets

Cleveland Browns guard Zion Johnson acknowledged that the offensive line must improve after quarterback Deshaun Watson was sacked eight times during Sunday’s 17-12 loss to the New York Jets. The protection problems became a major concern for the Browns following another difficult offensive performance. Johnson made it clear that responsibility extends beyond the offensive linemen . Running backs and tight ends also play important roles in keeping Watson protected against opposing defenses.
