Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson delivered a motivational message to his teammates before practice.

The Pro Bowl selection sent a text message to the entire offense with a succinct theme heading into a Saturday afternoon AFC wild-card playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

"Deshaun sent a mass text out to the offense, that was something different, just telling guys, 'Let's be great,' before practice," running back Carlos Hyde said. "That was something that was different."

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt also gave a speech stressing the importance of the moment and making the most out of this postseason opportunity.
