In this story:

Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost to the Steelers on Monday night to fall to 1-1 on the season. The QB, who is in his second year with Cleveland, had a rough outing and will likely be punished by the NFL for putting his hands on a ref during a heated moment. 

Before the game, he was much more calm, as ESPN’s cameras caught Watson going through a pregame routine on the bench with someone who was helping him get locked in on the task at hand.

ESPN analyst Troy Aikman broke it down during the fourth quarter and tried his best to hold in some laughter, but he ended up cracking up right at the end: 

Watson and the Browns failed to score on that drive and then later turned it over on downs on their final possession of the game.
