INDIANAPOLIS -- Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was convinced he had accomplished his goal: eluding the Indianapolis Colts' pass rush long enough to connect with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for a touchdown.
The officials thought otherwise during the first half of the Texans' 30-23 loss to the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Down 7-3 at the Colts' 4-yard line, Watson was ruled to be in the grasp by Justin Houston and it was determined to be a sack instead of a scoring toss to Hopkins. The Texans wound up settling for a field goal.
“It would have made a big difference," Watson said.
