Another week, another sensational performance by Houston Texans rookie quarterback and former Clemson Tiger Deshaun Watson.
A week after passing for four touchdowns and running for another, a first for a rookie QB in the Super Bowl era, Watson was at it again Sunday night, throwing five more scores. Unfortunately for Watson, it wasn’t enough for the Texans to top the Chiefs, and his team fell to 2-3 on the year.
But the good news for Watson is that not only did he tie the rookie record for most touchdowns in a game, he has emerged as a clear front-runner for the Rookie of the Year award.
