The Houston Texans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 13-9 Thursday night in Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.
Dropping back behind a leaky Texans offensive line, quarterback Deshaun Watson didn't have a great performance through the air in his first NFL start. He finished 15-of-24 for 125 yards.
Watson offered Houston fans a glimpse of his potential, though, when he put the Texans ahead 10-3 with 50 seconds remaining until halftime. The rookie passer was flushed out of the pocket and broke free for a 49-yard touchdown run. According to the Texans, it's the longest run by a quarterback in franchise history.
