INDIANAPOLIS -- Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson said a key in-the-grasp sack call was the result of the referee looking out for him, but it cost his team big time.
The Texans were trailing the Colts 7-3 in the second quarter, when they appeared to take the lead on a four-yard touchdown pass from Watson to DeAndre Hopkins.
On third and goal after recovering a Jacoby Brissett fumble, Watson appeared to barely escape pressure and throw while he was getting hit, before finding Hopkins in the end zone. But Watson was ruled down, resulting in a sack.
