The Cleveland Browns stunned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, and had some extra motivation for doing so.Just a week after their dismal loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Browns responded by beating the Bucs 23-19 after a two-hour lightning delay.The Browns are 1-1 after defeating the Buccaneers on SundayGettyIt marked the first win for new head coach Todd Monken, who was clearly fired up upon entering the conference room.“Browns are gonna Browns — f*** that, OK?” Monken said before storming out of the conference room.Monken was referencing Mike Tomlin’s comments during Sunday Night Football in Week 1 after they lost 34-10 to Jacksonville.“In the words of my friend JuJu Smith-Schuster, ‘the Browns is the Browns,'” Tomlin said.NFL Weekly Newsletter - SIGN UP!talkSPORT is your home for NFL in the UK as we launch our biggest year of coverage yet!2026 promises to be an epic year for NFL on talkSPORT – and we want you to join us for the ride.MORE INFO & SIGN-UP HERE!This season will be our biggest ever with live commentary of 90+ games, including behind-the-scenes access to international games and all three London fixtures, plus bumper coverage of Super Bowl 61 at SoFi Stadium.Exclusive interviews, hard-hitting opinion, latest front-office drama and top breaking news – all delivered straight to your inbox each week.Monken added that they were given an extra boost by the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers head coach’s comments.“We needed it,” Monken added. “Ultimately we’re judged by wins and losses.”“We had a couple of scuffles Wednesday – which is good.“It’s awesome, because guys didn’t like it. They were a little p***** off, right?“You ought to be a little p***** off. Played awful. It wasn’t the standard.”Tomlin responded to Monken’s emphatic response during half time of Sunday Night Football.Monken stormed out of the conference room after quoting TomlinSunday Night Football on NBCight Football on NBCLast week, Tomlin said ‘The Browns is the Browns’ after hearing they had lost to the JaguarsGetty“I love my new job, because I can provide bulletin-board material without any personal consequence,” Tomlin said.Will Deshaun Watson start in Week 3?It appeared that the Browns were trending in the same direction as their season opener, trailing 9-6 at halftime with just 59 net yards.Deshaun Watson had just one simple message for his head coach at half-time that inspired the offensive turnaround.“Making plays, telling ‘Monk’ at halftime just to trust me with the ball in my hands and let me just go out there and just operate,” Watson said, via ESPN. “Let him just scheme up all the plays and trust his mindset and let’s go execute.”In the final two quarters, Watson completed 17 of 21 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns. He also led the Browns with 22 rushing yards in the game.Watson’s half-time message to Monken appeared to workGettyThe $230 million quarterback’s performance relieved some pressure surrounding him, but for the second straight week, Monken did not commit to him starting for Cleveland’s home opener.“I’m going to enjoy this win. And I thought he played his a– off. I’m so happy for him. I’m just going to leave it there, right?” Monken said after being asked if Watson will start against the Carolina Panthers.“I mean, good for him. Good for 22 months working his [butt] off to get to where he’s at. I’m going to leave it at that.”Some expect Shedeur Sanders to start the home opener, with Watson blasting the organization and the Dawg Pound faithful after his return to the field in preseason.Whether Watson’s performance has saved him of demotion to No.2 remains to be seen.Join talkSPORT’s dedicated US Sports YouTube channel every Tuesday and Thursday for our brand new NFL shows.On Tuesdays Will Gavin and US senior reporter Brian T Smith will debate the biggest talking points from the NFL weekend, while on Thursdays Efe Obada joins the crew to talk with players past and present and break down what to look for across the league
