HOUSTON (SPORTSRADIO 610) – Down 24-20 with 6:26 left to play, Deshaun Watson pulled off some magic as he added another come from behind win to his growing list of fourth quarter comebacks.
“The quarterback. Couldn't catch him. The guy made a lot of plays. He made a lot of plays. Fourth and 1 coming out of the locker room to start the third quarter, they go for it on their own 30-yard line and he runs for it there. A couple scrambling completions. You've got to tip your hat to Watson. He was awesome today. Doggone Watson,” Oakland head coach Jon Gruden said following a 27-24 loss to the Texans.
On a 1st & Goal from the Oakland 9, Watson dropped back to pass only to be forced into the pocket. Watson was wrapped up, but spun out of the tackle. As he spun out of the tackle, he was cleated in the left eye. Still, somehow, Watson rolled right and found Darren Fells in the end zone for a go ahead touchdown.

October 27, 2019 “Trying to make a play and try to spin him off and when I spinned him, his leg kind of came up and I'm not sure where it hit. It just hit my helmet, that's all I remember. And this eye went shut and just kind of was, could kind of seeing Fells kind of going to my right,” Watson said. “I had to re-adjust my helmet and then this eye was actually going closed too, so I kind of threw it blind. But I kind of assumed where he was going and kind of adjusted and let my arm guide it. And then I didn't even see the play until after the game. I just kind of just laid there and heard the crowd go crazy and knew we scored.”
