Texans QB Deshaun Watson sacked NFL-high 62 times this season

Under siege all year, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was still standing at the end of the regular season and an AFC South division champion.

The season-long problem of Watson being under heavy duress played out again Sunday in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second-year dual-threat quarterback was sacked six times and hit 12 times overall, bringing his season totals to 62 sacks and 133 hits.

This represents the most sacks a quarterback has endured since Jon Kitna with 63 in 2006. It's the third-most in franchise history, trailing former Texans quarterback David Carr's NFL-record 76 sacks in 2002 and 68 in 2005.
