NFL Week 1 winners, losers: Deshaun Watson disastrous in Browns offense, Bears light up scoreboard

NFL Week 1 action delivered contrasting storylines across the league, featuring an unforgettable clash between the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans alongside an offensive explosion from Chicago. The Bears dominated their opener by racking up 59 points, powered by Caleb Williams, who tallied four touchdowns on the day.

Conversely, Cleveland stumbled to a 34-10 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars behind a troubled outing from Deshaun Watson. The Browns signal-caller was picked off on the game's initial possession, lost a first-quarter fumble that his team managed to recover, and suffered five sacks throughout the four-possession defeat.

Following the lopsided outcome, Cleveland coach Todd Monken defended his quarterback against shouldering total culpability, yet stated he must assess the entire situation prior to naming Watson the starter for Week 2.
