The Texans and Seahawks battled it out Sunday in one of the best games of the season, with Seattle scoring a late touchdown to capture a 41-38 victory.

After the contest, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman talked about Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson and just how good he thinks he can become.

When speaking with Sports Illustrated's Peter King, Sherman said he told Watson after the game that he played better against the Seahawks' defense than anybody he can remember, including Super Bowl winning quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.

"'You played the best game any quarterback has ever played against us, and we’ve played all the legends,'" Sherman told King he said to Watson.
