Deshaun Watson's return to the field of play was a rocky one. He showed some big moments, but he was shaky and turned the ball over in others. Sunday's season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers had some of both. Despite the rough reclamation, Watson remains optimistic about the team's future.

"To be back out there on the field is a blessing," Watson said after the 28-14 loss to the Steelers. "The future is definitely bright for the Cleveland Browns. Regardless of what people say or think, I'm here for a reason."

Watson finished 19-for-29 for 230 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Browns quarterback tossed two interceptions and was sacked seven times.

The offense wasn't all negative. It's shown flashes of what the future can hold for the playmakers. Watson talked about what they're going to do to evolve.

"I'm just going to go in there and meet with Kevin," Watson stated. "We're going to sit down and watch the tape, what do I like, what does he like? Just sitting down this offseason, mastering what we can do. Sit down with man-to-man talk, what can we do best (for this offense)."

Cleveland went 3-3 record-wise with Watson as the starting quarterback throughout the last six games.

"It's definitely tough -- the talent, the coaching staff -- just the standard that we have with the Cleveland Browns, to only win 7 games. Put this one to bed, get ready for 2023."
