Houston (AP) Deshaun Watson has always respected Tom Brady’s skill and tenacity.
On Sunday night, he defeated him by both throwing and catching a touchdown pass.
“I told them I’m an athlete; the longer you play in this league, the more you can accomplish,” he remarked. “So I can handle everything.”
The Houston Texans upset the New England Patriots 28–22 thanks to three touchdown passes from Watson, who also had his first career touchdown reception.
Against New England coach Bill Belichick, Texans coach and former Patriots assistant Bill O’Brien earned his first victory in six attempts. It was the first victory for Houston over the Patriots since January 3, 2010.
Simply because Brady is involved, this is pretty big, Watson said. “I had a 0-2 record against him, and I have no idea when he will give up.” That guy is my role model; he’s been doing it for over 20 years, so getting one at last is really great.

In the last four minutes, Brady completed two of his three touchdown passes to bring the score within six. With fifty seconds remaining, a Patriots (10-2) player attempted an onside kick, but the ball bounced out of bounds.
an excellent performance tonight in every aspect. All they were better than were us.
Late in the third quarter, James White scored the first touchdown for New England with a 12-yard reception; however, with roughly ten minutes remaining, Watson scored his first career reception on a flip from DeAndre Hopkins on a trick play, making the score 28-9. Watson received the snap and passed it to Duke Johnson, who then reversed the ball to Hopkins to the right. Watson dove into the end zone for a 6-yard score after Hopkins threw to him on an option close to the sideline.
Belichick stated, “There’s really not a whole lot to say here.” “Texans pulled through.”
