VIDEO: Deshaun Watson Throws Circus TD to Take Lead and Stays Down After Getting Kicked in Face
By Karl Rasmussen
Deshaun Watson never quits on a play, and he just proved that with an emphatic touchdown pass against the Raiders. After shaking a tackle, Watson managed to fire a dime to Darren Fells for a score. What was so special about the play, however, was that Watson actually got kicked in the face while shedding the tackle from Arden Key, after spinning out of a clear sack opportunity.
You can see Watson immediately reach towards his helmet after evading the sack, and then, with one eye closed, he fired a perfect pass to Fells to give the Texans a late lead.
Watson literally took a cleat to the eye, and even that didn't stop him from completing the play and putting Houston ahead in the fourth quarter. He was taken to the blue medical tent to be further examined, but he proved he's an absolute warrior in the process.
