The Houston Texans are on the board. After a three-and-out to start the game, Deshaun Watson and Co. drove 75 yards in 11 plays and 4:54 minutes to tie up their Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, 7-7.
Five plays after a Watson scrambled turned fumble turned first-down run, and two after a 21-yard Jordan Akins catch and run, the quarterback found wide receiver Will Fuller open in the corner of the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown.
That was, as they say, a dot by Watson to put the ball over two Falcons defenders and safely into Fuller’s hands.
By the end of the drive, Fuller was the Texans’ leading receiver, catching three balls for 19 yards and a score. Watson, on the other hand, was 5 for 6 for 48 yards and the touchdown. He also had one rush for nine yards.
Though just one-quarter of play is done, Houston’s matchup against Atlanta has the makings of a shootout.
