Deshaun Watson made his first NFL start sooner than what many anticipated, but it resulted in the Texans getting their first win of the season.
Numerous times in the Texans’ game Thursday night, he forced himself off defensive backs to get open for Watson.
During one drive in the fourth quarter, it seemed like the Texans were running an offense called Just Throw The Ball To Nuk .
Instead of trying to force a throw, he used his feet and was able to pick up 11 yards before running out of bounds, giving Ka’imi Fairbairn a 42-yard field goal as opposed to a 53-yarder.
It wasn’t a perfect game by Watson — though a 13-9 victory on the road in a short week for your first NFL start is pretty damn good.
