Don’t count a team led by Deshaun Watson out. What was a 16-0 Buffalo Bills lead is a 19-16 Houston Texans one with less than five minutes remaining in the hotly contested wild card matchup.
After he dropped a read-option flip catch, Texans running back Carlos Hyde got redemption. Watson flipped out to his right side and saw Hyde in the flat. The veteran running back caught it this time, walking in for a five-yard touchdown reception to give the Texans a point lead.
Watch below. Watson and Hyde work their magic to give the Texans a lead over the Bills.

Following the play that got the Texans up, Watson again helped Houston get some points. The Texans went for two, and the quarterback delivered as he drilled it to his reliable All-Pro receiver, DeAndre Hopkins. Watch below.

The Texans are up by three, but the game isn’t close to over at NRG Stadium.
