Deshaun Watson's 11-game ban from the NFL for breaking the league's personal conduct policy seemed to unintentionally set up a spotlight moment for.

However, Watson's protracted suspension from the field and two unsuccessful teams combined to produce something unexpected

Watson had once been a star at Houston's NRG Stadium, which was just about halfway full.

Large-scale protests didn't occur. Watson's entrance into the huddle with a smirk on his face was greeted with cheers and jeers over the course of the day.

Fans probably wanted to forget the game because of the Texans' and Watson's ugly performances.
