Watson plants flag in dominant Week 4 win

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson had a stellar performance Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. With five total touchdowns (tying the all-time single-game rookie QB record) Watson finished the game with an overall grade of 86.9, the second-highest of all quarterbacks so far in Week 4. His run grade of 87.8 is currently the second-highest among all quarterbacks through nearly four weeks of action.
Watson performed well when utilizing play-action, with his two passing touchdowns tying with Cam Newton for the most on Sunday. His 119 passing yards when using play-action is the second most so far in Week 4.
The Clemson product dealt with pressure on 13 of his 36 dropbacks, taking only one sack and giving him a sack percentage of 7.7, tying for the sixth-best mark so far in Week 4. Watson was one of only six quarterbacks to throw for a touchdown while under pressure on Sunday.
Registering only one turnover-worthy throw, Watson was nearly perfect when in a clean pocket, throwing for three touchdowns and registering an adjusted completion percentage (accounts for drops, throwaways, spikes, batted passes, and when the QB is hit as he throws to give a clearer measure of QB accuracy) of 82.6 percent. Only Aaron Rodgers and Andy Dalton threw more touchdowns while kept clean (4).
