I don't know who coaches the blocking schemes, the OC or the OL coach but did anyone notice what Cleveland was doing to Watt for most of the night? They put a back in the slot on Watt's side, had him chip him to slow him down and then handed him off to the rookie tackle. When they didn't employ this blocking pattern, Watt bent the edge and pressured or sacked Watson. It was a small thing but it was effective, Watt wasn't dominant and Watson knew he had at least a couple seconds before Watt would beat the tackle. The back wasn't taking the full force of Watt and Jones didn't have to absorb a Watt bull rush, swim or inside move, it was a good idea, imo.
