Deshaun Watson could be seen placing his hands on a referee to shove him as he was being pushed back from an altercation with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Somehow, it didn’t even result in a flag.
Watson scampered to the sideline for no gain and was then flagged for a personal foul after he grabbed the helmet of Kwon Alexander and dragged him toward the bench on Pittsburgh’s sideline. Watson tried to get in the face of some Steelers defenders. An official attempted to impede his path, and he could be seen shoving the referee to the side.
Millions of people have seen the video, yet somehow Watson is denying that it happened.
Following the game, the Cleveland Browns quarterback said there was no contact with the ref as they were simply having a conversation.
Well, we all know that is not true.

The Cleveland Browns’ $230 million quarterback has yet to live up to his contract since being traded to the team from Houston. Watson accounted for three of the Browns’ four turnovers, including a first-play pick-six and a game-losing fumble returned for a touchdown by T.J. Watt.
He completed 22-of-40 pass attempts for 235 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and two lost fumbles.
He also caught a couple of penalties. In addition to the unnecessary roughness penalty, Watson was later flagged for another personal foul.
The Browns dropped to 1-1 on the season.
