HOUSTON -- Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson tied the NFL rookie touchdown record with five scores in the team's 57-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans, leading Houston to a franchise-record 57 points.

Watson threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth in the win, and was 25-of-34 passing through the air for 283 yards and an interception.

Watson is the first rookie to pass for at least four touchdowns and rush for one touchdown in a game since Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton did so for the Minnesota Vikings in 1961, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
