Saturday's AFC Wild Card playoff game between the Texans and the Bills ended with a moment that will be immortalized in Houston professional sports history, and quarterback Deshaun Watson was the star of that moment.
The Houston Texans’ 35-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans at NRG Stadium on Sunday had all the excitement of a preseason game. Surely, next week’s AFC Divisional Round playoff game back at NRG Stadium against the Buffalo Bills will be a little different, though.

The only constant for the Texans this season has been their inconsistency, so not only should their struggles this week following last week’s huge win over the Tennessee Titans be unsurprising, it was a downright appropriate way to wrap up their division championship.
One quality the Houston Texans have possessed with consistency this season is that every time they have suffered a deflating loss, they have answered back in a big way.

Dating back to his National Championship appearances as the leader of the Clemson Tigers, and even his high school career, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson just seems to be at his best when the stage is at its grandest, and that trend continued Sunday at NRG Stadium as he led the wa…
These changes, if the multiple groups involved agree, would begin in the NBA’s 75th anniversary season of 2021-22, and would be welcomed changes to a league in danger of growing stale due to lack of parity.

Thanks to a clutch win in unfamiliar territory this week, the Texans remain on track for a solid season.
