​At the risk of diluting the not-to-be-missed, cough, drama from next weekend, Week 2 of the modern NFL preseason is the new Week 3 – a time when many established vets get their final dress rehearsals ahead of the regular season and before many bottom-of-the-roster battles are largely settled in the exhibition finale. It also tends to be the decision nexus for teams in the throes of quarterback battles, though that seems to be something of an exception this year … Cleveland notwithstanding.I wrote a week ago that the Browns would be silly to do anything other than start Shedeur Sanders this season. And to the degree he proved me right with Saturday’s showing against the Buffalo Bills, veteran Deshaun Watson then provided his own exclamation point with his performance on the field – and, perhaps more so, at the podium.The goings-on in Cleveland provided the primary narrative of Week 2, but there were plenty of subplots elsewhere. Without further ado – even with one game to be played Sunday night (Seahawks at Titans), your winners and losers from the preseason’s penultimate weekend:LOSERSDeshaun WatsonNot good on the field. After starting the preseason openers and looking absolutely dispensable − albeit in his first game action in nearly two years − he followed Sanders and played with teammates lower on the depth chart Saturday against Buffalo. And while it’s important to note Watson was playing with backups, he probably also ought to be able to pick apart a reserve-laden defense, no? Instead, the Browns went three-and-out on his first two drives, and he threw an ugly interception on the third. After completing five of 12 passes for 36 yards, Watson essentially cemented the case … that he should be Cleveland’s QB2. At best.Deshaun Watson (and the Browns)Even worse at his press conference. I literally (and accurately) spelled out this debacle of a situation last weekend. Here’s your encore performance.Probably frustrated and doubtless seeing what seems to be the clear writing on the wall, Watson added another regrettable chapter to his legacy, such as it is, by proceeding to bemoan his treatment by the crowd at Huntington Bank Field following Saturday’s outing.“I think the whole world knows it has nothing to do with the performance − it’s a little more personal than that. So I think that’s a disrespectful thing. I’m going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that, and just move on,” Watson said of being booed (again) by Cleveland fans.“Last time I played on this field, I tore my Achilles, and that same fan base cheered when I got hurt. So what does that have to do with anything about performance? When a person gets hurt, especially in their own city, and they cheer.“I feel like I get more love on road games than I do at home games.”What Watson didn’t mention is that, after the Browns’ ill-considered trade for him in 2022 – they then disastrously gave him a five-year
