On the road, going up against the defending champion New England Patriots in Week 3, rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson continued to prove he’s the man to lead the Houston Texans.
The former Clemson star displayed elite-level precision on a touchdown pass to Bruce Ellington in the first quarter. Threading the ball in between two Patriots defenders, Watson put the ball right where it needed to be for the go-ahead score.

The Texans are certainly giving the Patriots a fight early in this game. They took a 10-7 lead after Watson’s extraordinary touchdown pass, only the second of his burgeoning career.
