Where does Texans’ Deshaun Watson’s OT 34-yard pass rank in his highlight reel?

Deshaun Watson’s 34-yard pass to Taiwan Jones was amazing. However, Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien says it wasn’t even his best play in 2019.

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is not one to fold under pressure. He has six game-winning drives in 2019 alone, the most in the NFL (including playoffs). Sometimes, those game-winning drives come via an improbable play.

On Saturday, in a 22-19 wild card round win over the Buffalo Bills, Watson drilled a pass that will surely end-up on an end-of-the-season highlight reel. On second-and-6, in overtime, with the season on the line, Watson evaded two sacks to find running back Taiwan Jones for a 34-yard gain that would set up the game-winning field goal.

The play, for most, is a career-defining one. For Watson, it’s just another addition to his highlight reel. His coach Bill O’Brien doesn’t even see it as his best play made during the 2019 season.

“I’ve seen some incredible plays,” O’Brien said on Monday. “I’m very lucky, I’ve seen some incredible plays, and that was an incredible play. But I think that when you get kicked in the eye and you still are able to complete a touchdown pass, I’m not sure that you can surpass that. I just think that that play that he made on (Saturday) was an incredible play and he’s an incredible player, but when he got kicked in the eye against Oakland and he grabbed his eye and he really didn’t know what was going on with his eye and he kept the play alive to complete a pass, that was a pretty cool play.”

The play O’Brien refers to took place against the Oakland Raiders in Week 8. Like against the Bills, he led a comeback, with the improbable play sealing the deal for the win. On first-and-goal, Watson dropped back, got out of a tackle, was kicked in his eye and threw a touchdown to tight end Darren Fells.

It’s fair to say that Watson, the magician, makes the Texans must-see TV.
