WATCH: Watson connects with Hopkins for 49-yarder to lead Texans to OT win


by - Assoc. Editor -

It was an intriguing contest between the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys at NRG Stadium on Sunday Night Football.

Deshaun Watson found No. 1 receiver Nuk Hopkins for a whirling and twirling 49-yard reception in overtime to setup a game-winning field goal to secure the 19-16 overtime win.

Hopkins had an impressive 9 catches for 151 yards.

Watson finished going 33-for-44 for 375 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and 40 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Both former Clemson standouts received game balls last night from NBC.
