Unlike pretty much everyone else who has been talking about the absence of Deshaun Watson for the Texans, Joe Buck wasn’t beating around the bush.

During Thursday Night Football, Buck decided to talk about all the allegations against Deshaun Watson when speaking about the quarterback’s hiatus from the team.

Shortly after Joe Buck talked extensively about the Deshaun Watson situation, he was criticized by fans on social media who were all wondering — why?

Joe Buck was willing to delve into Deshaun Watson and his situation more than any other broadcaster has done during games this year. It’s probably not a necessary move.

We’re all well aware of the allegations against Watson at this point. And maybe it’s just better not to get into all of it in the middle of a nationally televised game.

Perhaps Fox will have a little chat with Joe Buck about chilling on the Deshaun Watson talk for future games.
