Watson's 301 passing yards is the most ever by a former Clemson quarterback in an NFL game according to the Clemson SID. Charlie Whitehurst had the previous record with 287 passing yards. Check out some of the Twitter reaction to Watson's second career start. This @DeshaunWatson TD pass... ??????#Texans pic.twitter.com/stOp96VOTr .@deshaunwatson is tossing BEAUTIFUL TDs for the @HoustonTexans! #Texans pic.twitter.com/K0EYSy6rtz This @deshaunwatson escape was all sorts of AMAZING. #DW4 and TB12.#Respect #WeAreTexans pic.twitter.com/wDfPGPHNmo #KHOU11 #Texans QB @deshaunwatson walks off the field after tough last minute loss to #Patriots pic.twitter.com/jmAXZoNesp DeShaun Watson what are you doing nooOOoo- WAIT, YES! pic.twitter.com/yD7LMciNJ2 Real recognizing Real ??@deshaunwatson pic.twitter.com/bK3OJOAEmo Can remember a #Texans game during the O'Brien era that entertaining. Thank you, Deshaun Watson. The next decade-plus should be fun. I said after draft, if O'Brien will just hand him the reins and stay out of way, Deshaun will do for Houston what rookie Dak did for Dallas. Deshaun gets burned by the boob O'Brien not signaling for a time out, blowing a shot at 2 more plays. Deshaun STILL almost pulled it out. Rookie QB Deshaun Watson took down college royalty in Nick Saban. He ALMOST takes down NFL royalty in Bill Belichick. King slayer #Texans Deshaun Watson is gonna be a beast in this league DeShaun Watson just did his best Harry Houdini, and if he beats Belichick and Brady in Foxborough ... https://t.co/wjRhHmQf6y Wow. Deshaun Watson has arrived Deshaun Watson is a magician Deshaun Watson looked like Superman in the Nat'l Championship. Looks like a star today. Why again was he not taken until the 12th pick? I'll say it again: Deshaun Watson should've been the 1st pick in the draft. He has the Texans in position to beat Tom Brady in Foxboro. Trubisky and Mahomes might turn out to be a good NFL QBs, but taking them both over DeShaun Watson is classic NFL outthinking the room Deshaun Watson is growing up a little bit as an NFL quarterback today. He's made some mistakes but he's responded like the champ he is Pass rush & loud fans? @deshaunwatson doesn't care... pic.twitter.com/hxjASZ4rFa That's a hell of a game. And everyone got to see Deshaun Watson. Kid is legit Deshaun Watson is having one helluva game in the second start of his NFL career. 16 of 21, 177 yards, 2 TD, 112.6 rating, 38 rushing yards. DESHAUN WATSON HAS BROKEN MY CAPS LOCK. #Texans DeShaun Watson looking pretty damn good vs the @Patriots right now. Nice TD throw. DeShaun Watson, man. Deshaun Watson is 18 years younger than Tom Brady...and the kid is keeping up at Gillette. This is a game. Deshaun Watson was absolutely the real deal in second NFL start. Finished 22 of 33 for 301 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT, 90.6 rating, 41 rushing yards O'Brien on Watson: "It's only his second start... I think he's shown up pretty well his first two starts."
What a play! #Texans pic.twitter.com/EB9tbrNbou
