Twitter reacts to the loss vs. Commanders in preseason home game
The Cleveland Browns played the only preseason game of the year in Northeast Ohio as they fell to the Washington Commanders by a score of 17-15. The team played most of their key starters as Deshaun Watson took the field for the first time this year. He led one drive that moved down the field before stalling on 4th and goal but they showed plenty of promise.
The defensive line without Myles Garrett also made their presence felt including Za’Darius Smith forcing a holding call in the endzone resulting in a safety. Here’s a look at how fans reacted on Twitter to the second preseason game of the year.
Absolutely zero good reasons for Dorian Thompson-Robinson to have been a fifth round pick.

That was a good drive. Not real worried about the ending with guys not named Nick Chubb getting those carries.

This defense is just beautiful

Seriously if JOK is going to be allowed to just see ball and attack, he is going to be everywhere this year. #Fun https://t.co/BNMcsPsiij

Does Cade York get more grace because of the game-winning FG vs the panthers last year?

Ronnie Hickman (who just got his 2nd interception of the night) was a UDFA by the way 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Felton has just looked nice out there.

#Browns Kellen Mond hits Mike Harley for a 20-yard TD with 1:39 to play to pull to 17-15, but 2 point conversion is incomplete to Austin Watkins.

Watkins has to make the team

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah might be the biggest winner of all the Browns offseason moves. Dude was flying tonight behind that upgraded DL pic.twitter.com/ZHjAF8qM8N

Beautiful first drive for the Browns.
Watson a few nice passes, used his legs. Elijah Moore is going to be a stud.
I’ll take it.

This was a big opportunity for #Browns K Cade York to inspire confidence, especially at home He missed a 46-yarder wide right vs. #Commanders after pushing a 49-yarder wide right against the Jets.
