From the episode

Deshaun Watson's average air yards per attempt was 3.7. The Browns got over 160 yards after the catch in that game. Their rushing yards was 44. The ball was out instantly... They won in a very similar way to the last time Deshaun Watson had a big gain... where David Njoku had like a hundred yards after the catch by himself.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson's resurgence overstated; 3.7 air yards per attempt masks dump-off-dependent offense.

Despite recent win over Tampa Bay, Watson's so-called resurgence is overstated; he averaged only 3.7 air yards per attempt, with Browns gaining 160+ yards after the catch and 44 rushing yards. The offense won via dump-offs and run plays with extra steps rather than downfield passing; similar to a previous game against Ravens where David Njoku had 100 yards after catch by himself. This is not indicative of a long-term bounce back.
