Deshaun Watson on Beating Patriots: Had to at Least Get One Win on Tom Brady

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson notched his first career win over the New England Patriots Sunday night, topping the reigning champions 28-22.

Watson was previously 0-2 against New England since Houston drafted him 12th overall in 2017. Texans head coach Bill O'Brien, hired by Houston in 2014, also got his first win over his former team. O'Brien had served in various coaching roles in New England from 2007 to 2011.

The victory held a little more significance to Watson, who told NBC's Michele Tafoya he was happy to "at least get one" over Patriots quarterback Tom Brady before the 42-year-old retires:
