Deshaun Watson will do it himself. Down 16, in the final moments of the third quarter of the Houston Texans’ playoff bout with the Buffalo Bills, he desperately needed to get his team some points. He did just that with a 20-yard scamper.
Watson followed a block by rookie fullback Cullen Gillaspia out of a two running back set. Running behind the former Texas A&M 12th man, he found himself at the six-yard line with the Bills coming in for a tackle. That didn’t stop him. He carried his defenders into the end zone, dove and got the Texans’ first points of the day.
Watch below.
Then down by 10, the Texans opted to go for two. Again, Watson did it himself. He ran towards the edge of the end zone, put out his hand and converted.
Just like that, the Texans have some momentum, but they are still down by eight points.
