J.J. Watt, Houston Texans top Cincinnati Bengals in impressive debut from Deshaun Watson Jeff Wallner, UPI
The Deshaun Watson era begins for the Texans. Houston was careful not to overload the rookie QB in his first career start, relying instead on a huge dose of the running game against the hapless Bengals. When he did go to the air it was DeAndre Hopkins who provided the security blanket for Watson. He had seven catches for 73 yards on the night.
Watson helped his own cause with a long touchdown run.
It may or may not be the start of something good for Houston, but for Cincinnati there are serious signs that there are serious concerns.
