Sunday’s NFL matchup between the New England Patriots and Houston Texans was a game of firsts for former South Carolina and Clemson greats.
Houston rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson threw his first career touchdown pass, a 29-yard strike to Bruce Ellington, his first score since joining the Texans.
Watson later was picked off by cornerback Stephon Gilmore, his first interception since signing with the Patriots.
Texans defender and Gamecock great Jadeveon Clowney also had a sack on New England QB Tom Brady.
