The Houston Texans return from their bye to travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks in Week 8. Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson will certainly have his work cut out according to this handy report by NFL Research.

Thus far, Watson has held his own and is developing into a very talented signal caller for the Texans. He is completing 61.5 percent of his passes and has thrown for an impressive 15 touchdowns versus only five interceptions. He has also added one rushing touchdown to his stats and currently sports a 101.1 quarterback rating.
A meeting against the Seahawks facing Seattle’s famous Legion of Boom could prove to be difficult for Watson to continue his successful play.
We will see soon enough how well Watson fares as the Texans look to improve to 4-3 on Sunday.
