NFL Note - Houston Texans Watson, *Deshaun

Oct 16, 2017 - 6:39 AM QB Deshaun Watson dissected another defense on Sunday with a precision belying his experience. Watson passed for 225 yards and three touchdowns, his ledger marred only by a 56-yard interception return for a score by Browns cornerback Jason McCourty in the fourth quarter. With 15 touchdown passes, Watson not only leads the entire league in that category, he has produced the most scoring strikes by a rookie through six games since the NFL/AFL merger.

"It's pretty cool. It's straight," Watson said of the accomplishments. "I should have had more (touchdowns). I missed some opportunities. But if you look at the big picture and see the things I'm doing, it goes all to the support cast I have around me and the people that push me.

"It's bigger than me. It's the support cast that's helping me do what I'm doing. I appreciate all of them."

Watson, who finished 17 of 29, completed scoring passes of 39 yards to Will Fuller V with 41 seconds left in the first quarter, 1 yard to Braxton Miller at the 3:04 mark of the second, and 3 yards to DeAndre Hopkins with 4:05 remaining in the third. Watson is the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw three-plus touchdowns over three consecutive games.
