HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have questions on defense after injuries to J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, but finally have some stability at quarterback.
Deshaun Watson threw five touchdowns in Sunday’s 42-34 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, becoming the first rookie quarterback in NFL history with five or more total touchdowns in back-to-back games.
Watson already has set a single-season rookie franchise record for touchdown passes with 12. The previous record was held by David Carr, who threw nine touchdown passes as a rookie in 2002.
