"Deshaun Watson Gives the Texans Hope after Winning His First NFL Start" by Harry Lyles, Jr. on sbnation.com

A word on Watson's 49-yard touchdown run: I've read where he's only "seeing" his first options, and if nobody is open - instead of seeing his second and third options, i.e., "the progression," - he's seeing the rushers coming at him and panicking: That's not something you want in the NFL. However, notice that on this particular run, he stepped *up into* the pocket - even as it was collapsing - rather than scampering around and trying to flee from the play.

And today, Deshaun Waston became the first QB in NFL history to:

* Pass for more than 400 yards (this is all in one game), and
* Throw 5-or-more touchdowns, and
* Throw 5-or-less incompletions.

All for a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

Not coincidentally, he didn't get sacked today. There was one other game in his career when he didn't get sacked, and he also threw 5 touchdowns, only 4 incompletions, and had a passer rating of 156.
