Deshaun Watson: Don’t make the three-week stretch bigger than it is
The Texans control their fate. For these next three weeks, they must win two out of the next three to ensure an AFC South crown and, subsequently, a spot in the playoffs.
The pressure is at an all-time-high, starting with Sunday. Defeating the Titans would mean taking a one-game lead in a tight race to the top. The noon matchup is vitally important for the Texans to accomplish their goals.
Deshaun Watson wants himself and his team to treat the game with the same mentality. No thinking about next week, the situation or anything else. Get the win, travel back.
“I mean, it’s the same mentality,” said Watson on Wednesday. “You’ve got to come in each and every week. Every game is very crucial, the games, the week forward is crucial to put us in a situation to be in the position that we’re in today. So, yeah, we’ve just got to have the same mentality going in, don’t make it bigger than what it is. It’s already big because it’s the next one and just kind of have that mentality, and just go out there and play ball.”
