8. Watson throws for more than 400 yards

Since joining the Houston Texans in 2017, Deshaun Watson has proven to be one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL, and the best part for the team is how he seems to be getting better with experience.

Once again, Watson played a key role in the Texans finishing on top of the division, but the former Clemson star is going to be in for another tough challenge this weekend by facing one of the top defenses the NFL has to offer in the Buffalo Bills.

Playing at home would make it seem like Houston will have the clear advantage over Buffalo, but also last year is the perfect example of how nothing is guaranteed after the Texans were embarrassed by the Indianapolis Colts.

While Houston will have their hands full trying to keep Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense in check, whether the Texans have a legitimate shot in this one could come down to the play of Watson on offense.

Watson’s ability to scramble and make big plays out of nowhere will always make the quarterback a serious threat on offense for Houston. And even though throwing for more than 400 yards against a top defense in the Bills will be difficult, Watson can’t hold anything back in the playoffs.
