Deshaun Watson Praises 'Electric' Browns Fans After Beating Steelers to Take AFC North Lead

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has changed his stance on the crowd at Huntington Bank Field since accusing fans this preseason of rooting against him.

Watson praised the home crowd as "electric" following a 27-24 Thursday night win over the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.

"It was electric. It was amazing... from start to finish, the crowd was in it," Watson said after the win (h/t 92.3 The Fan). "The energy of the stadium, we fed off them."

Watson led the Browns on a game-winning drive that will allow Cleveland to head into the weekend as the top team in the AFC North.
