Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson talks to NFL Network’s Deion Sanders after the team’s Week 6 win against the Cleveland Browns.

Deshaun Watson is doing things that no rookie quarterback has done in the NFL since Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton in the 1960s. Most everyone is wowed by what Watson is doing for the Houston Texans. Everyone, that is, except Watson himself.

Dabo Swinney tried to tell everyone who would listen. Deshaun Watson has it — moxie, clutchability, drive, an ability to succeed regardless of the obstacles in front of him — and was going to succeed at the NFL level. If Sunday was any indication of his future prospects, the Houston Texans should be

A week after nearly pulling off a huge upset over the Patriots with 301 passing yards, 41 rush yards and a couple of touchdowns in Week 3, Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson returned to Houston and thumped the division-rival Titans in Week 4 with five total touchdowns. It was a fantastic follow-up

HOUSTON (0-1) at CINCINNATI (0-1)

There were plenty of people whom the Houston Texans could have blamed for their Week 1 debacle at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars . Head coach Bill O’Brien, for running a scheme that got picked apart and failed to protect the quarterback. General manager Rick Smith, for failing to put together a

Week 1 is always full of surprises in the NFL. The preseason also tells us quite little and often it’s difficult to discern which teams are going to take a marked turn from the season before until several weeks into the season. So, I’ll attempt to avoid too many dreaded overreactions after such

Add the Texans to the list of teams keeping just two quarterbacks. According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are releasing quarterback Brandon Weeden. That leaves just Tom Savage and first-rounder Deshaun Watson on their roster, which is an interesting dynamic. They’ve been solidly

J.J. Watt got five plays in on Wednesday night, and that was just enough.

NFL Network’s Alex Flanagan talks one on one with Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson about his transition into the NFL.

Throughout the history of any franchise, a team is bound to come across some great defensive backs. The fact the Houston Texans have had more than a few great defensive backs in their short 15 year history is impressive. Some NFL teams go 15 years without having one quality defensive back, Houston has

A strange report emerged in recent days regarding the Texans and quarterback Jay Cutler. Specifically, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported that the Texans ignored multiple phone calls from Cutler. Making the report more unusual than usual was the image of Cutler dialing and dialing and dialing and waiting and waiting and waiting and the Texans ignoring and ignoring and ignoring.
