Mixing option runs and crisp throws, Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson is off to a torrid start Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Watson helped the Texans build a 30-14 halftime lead at NRG Stadium with his arm and his feet.

The first-round draft pick from Clemson has completed 14 of 20 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for a 113.8 passer rating.

Watson also ran for one touchdown, celebrating the score by leaping into the stands where he was congratulated enthusiastically by fans clapping him on the back.

Watson threw touchdown passes to DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.
