Deshaun Watson has once again gotten away with putting his hands on somebody without consent.
While attempting to confront the Steelers’ coaches and players during the second half of the 26-22 loss in Pittsburgh, he could be seen shoving a referee to the side. The struggling Browns quarterback did not get flagged for his shove nor did the refs converse with each other about the incident.
Because of that, fans were left wondering why he wasn’t ejected.

Watson will likely be hearing from the league’s front office sometime this week because NFL rules strictly state that shoving an official is an automatic ejection from the game.
Watson was coming off a poor performance in the team’s Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, where he recorded 154 passing yards, a touchdown pass, a rushing TD, and an interception on 16-for-29 completions.
Against the Steelers, Watson threw for 235 yards and a touchdown on 22-for-40 completed passes, but was on the wrong end of a pick 6. He also had a costly fumble that was picked up by TJ Watt and returned for a touchdown.
Watson will look to get the Browns (1-1) back in the win column when they host the Tennessee Titans (1-1) on Sunday.
