NFL fans were quick to criticize Amazon Prime Video announcers Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels for their commentary on Deshaun Watson during a recent broadcast of a Cleveland Browns game.

The criticism stemmed from what some saw as an attempt by the announcers to rehabilitate Watson's image, following his off-field issues. Watson has played only 19 games for the Browns since signing a five-year, $230 million guaranteed contract in March 2022 due to injuries and controversies.

Fans took to Twitter to express their outrage, with some accusing Herbstreit and Michaels of engaging in 'shameless image rehabbing' on behalf of Watson. Others described the announcers' praise as 'egregious' and 'gross.'
