Deshaun Watson got kicked in the eye and still threw the go-ahead TD pass

In case you haven’t already figured it out by now, Deshaun Watson is a special talent.

The Houston Texans rallied to defeat the Raiders in Week 8’s matchup in Houston, but it was that go-ahead score for Houston that had the NFL world in awe.

With the Texans down four points and 6:34 remaining in the game, Watson appeared to be trapped for a certain sack and a huge loss on first and goal. But Watson just wouldn’t go down.

The Texans quarterback spun out of the sack, got kicked in the face and still managed to connect with Darren Fells for the go-ahead score. Just incredible.

NFL fans freaked out about the play … and deservedly so. He threw the touchdown with one eye!

The Texans would hold on to win, 27-24. Watson passed for 279 yards and three touchdowns.
