The last time Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson shared the football field, it was one of the greatest games played at Death Valley.
“There were so many plays. It was great play after great play after great play after great play. It was just back and forth,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said about the October 1, 2016 matchup.
If their matchup this Sunday, when Watson’s Houston Texans visit Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens, is anything like their college matchup then the NFL is in for a real treat.
Watson, who led Clemson to the national championship in 2016, threw five touchdown passes and had 397 total yards, including 306 passing yards, while Jackson had 457 total yards and totaled three touchdowns in a battle of top 5 teams at Memorial Stadium.
