Texas just might be the home to the NFL’s hottest new rookie.
That was certainly the case on Sunday as Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson lit things up with five touchdowns — four in the air, one on the ground — as part of a record-breaking day for his team.
The Texans put up 57 points — a new team record — while Watson’s TD total tied the NFL record for a rookie quarterback. And, according to the team, he’s the first rookie QB to throw four and rush for one since Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton back in 1961.
