HOUSTON -- It was only his third NFL start, but Deshaun Watson's performance in the Houston Texans' 57-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans was the team's best performance at quarterback in franchise history.

Watson threw four passing touchdowns and ran for another, finishing 25-of-34 for 283 yards and an interception. His five touchdowns tied the NFL rookie touchdown record. He is also the first rookie to throw at least four passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in a game since Hall-of-Famer Fran Tarkenton did so for the Minnesota Vikings in 1961, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
