Honestly I almost felt like if Houston had time for a successful onside kick and one more fire drill drive he could have tied the game. On the other hand, I feel like he started very slow and contributed to his team falling behind early. Obviously the Texans defense losing two of its big three stars - Watt and Mercilus - hurt that unit tremendously and played a big hand in not being able to get off the field on third down, and that weakness was magnified as the game progressed. Regardless, even when Watson started getting the ball into the end zone, I never felt like the outcome of the game was in doubt. It was weird, because I came away thinking it was the most underwhelming five-touchdown performance I've ever seen, and I can't believe that's a real sentence. Am I crazy or being too harsh here? Are my expectations too high? Am I just hedging my bets because I really want to see Watson succeed lol?

The Browns, Bills, Dolphins and Niners would take that in a heartbeat my friend.

Watson is a raw rookie and he's breaking all kinds of records. So let's not look a gift horse in the mouth here.
