Behind Healthy Deshaun Watson, J.J. Watt, the Texans Are Coming for the AFC

At the very least, the Houston Texans have two very special players.

That may or may not be enough to win a championship this season, but we received a reminder on Sunday night that Houston should be considered a threat in the AFC so long as quarterback Deshaun Watson and defensive end J.J. Watt are healthy.

That, of course, was not the case for the majority of a tough 2017 season. And Watson and Watt both showed signs of rust during a three-loss September. Understandable, as one was still just 10 months removed from a torn ACL, while the other was returning from a serious leg injury.
