Call it a Deshaun Watson moment. The quarterback compared to Michael Jordan certainly had a Kodak Moment on Saturday night.
On second-and-6, with the Houston Texans tied with the Buffalo Bills at 19 in overtime, Watson made the improbable probable. The third-year quarterback evaded two sacks, pinpointed a ball to running back Taiwan Jones and saw the Texans drive 34 yards down the field to set-up a game-winning field goal.
Watch below. Watson pulls off a play that he can only pull-off.

A moment that will forever live in Texans’ history.
One play later, Houston saught to end the game there. Ka’imi Fairbairn ran out with the special teams unit and drilled a 28-yard field goal to get the Texans to advance to the first round of the playoffs.
Watson got his redemption after last year’s embarrassing 21-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the wild card round. Now, he’s a playoff winner seeking to have more to his name.
