The Dolphins won, ending the Steelers’ chances of making the playoffs despite their 28-14 victory over the Browns. However, what ended up grabbing the most amount of eyeballs is how the refs failed to make a few important calls when controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson was subjected to quite a few hits during the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Me, a few years ago, if Deshaun Watson had was blatantly tackled by the facemask with no call: “WTF!?!?!”
Me, now, when Deshaun Watson is blatantly tackled by the facemask with no call: ….”eat shit.”

The officiating crew from Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns has been chastised by the NFL World. This one had some wild calls, including some brutal missed penalties.
Watson was harassed and humbled in Sunday’s 28-14 season-ending loss. The officials failed to call an extremely obvious facemask by Pittsburgh defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi on Deshaun Watson. On Sunday night, the officials faced a lot of criticism, and some people demanded investigations.
“After this game, the NFL will need to take a closer look at Clete Blakeman’s team. by far the worst-officiated game of the year. horrible calls all day, “a follower wrote.
Before switching to the NFL in 2008, Blakeman began officiating American football in the Big 12 Conference as a field judge for the first two seasons of his professional football career. In 2010, Don Carey returned to the role of back judge, and Blakeman then started officiating for the NFL.
NFL fans were happy to see Deshaun Watson fail
Although referee Clete Blakeman missed spotting a facemask on Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, fans believe he did well. Many fans believe Watson should not have been allowed to play, and this is Brown’s worst mistake in playing with Watson. Following Watson’s poor performance, some fans assassinated his character.
Seems like the refs might be officiating the game based on their personal feelings against #DeshaunWatson … There’s just no other way possible they missed that face mask call besides them simply ignoring it 👀pic.twitter.com/lGfZPdyrds

Seems to me like the @Browns are banning the wrong QB. Why not ban the serial sex offender #DeshaunWatson you are starting at QB? Let Bernie bet. https://t.co/fFohwUVgG9

#DeshaunWatson wasn’t worth the wait for the Browns. Watson got too cocky with the Texans. Bad locker guy I would guess. Anti management wherever he goes. Lies etc.

#DeshaunWatson was a terrible investment and he’s a worse quarterback than he is a person. He wasn’t worth $250 let alone 250 million.

The #ClevelandBrowns are a worse football team with #DeshaunWatson
End of story #DeSackWatson #TouchyMcTowel #CreepyPervert— Mercer Creed 🌊 (@MercerCreed) January 8, 2023
As expected, #DeshaunWatson was a failure. 3 wins against teams with backup QBs. No signs of being a Top 5 or even Top 10 QB. Certainly not worth $230M guaranteed plus FIVE draft picks (THREE FIRST ROUNDERS). Haslam has destroyed The #Browns Franchise for many years to come

With 230 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and a passer rating of 84.0, Watson completed 19 of his 29 passes. He was hit ten times and sacked seven times. He had little opportunity to relax in the pocket, and when he did, he had trouble locating a receiver.
