It has been a back and forth affair between the Minnesota Vikings and the Houston Texans. After the Vikings scored on the ground to push their lead to 31-16, the Texans offense took the field for the ensuing drive needing to provide an answer. Facing a fourth down outside the red zone, head coach Bill O’Brien kept his offense on the field, and quarterback Deshaun Watson rewarded his faith:
On 4th & 10… @DeshaunWatson to @KSTILLS for the @HoustonTexans TD!
One-possession game in Houston.

Watson does a great job of climbing the pocket to extend this play, keeping his eyes downfield, allowing him to find Stills in the back right corner of the end zone for the critical touchdown. For his part, Stills does a great job of getting both feet down in bounds to secure the touchdown reception.
With both teams entering the game with 0-3 records, the loser of this contest is likely facing a near-impossible climb to the playoffs. Watson seemed determined on this play to help the Texans avoid such a fate.
