In the Sunday Night Football game tonight there was a play in which at first it appeared that Deshaun Watson ran for a touchdown on a pitch from DeAndre Hopkins.
It was ruled a forward pass and thus Watson was credited with a touchdown reception. It was the first of the season.
Watson now has 23 touchdown passes, 5 rushing touchdowns, and a touchdown reception.
According to Pro Football Reference it marked just the 12th time in NFL history a player had at least 15 touchdown passes and at least one touchdown run and one touchdown reception.
Here is the complete list—
Folks are saying Lamar Jackson is the frontrunner for the MVP and that is likely true. But there still a month of games left, so let's see all of them. Don't sleep on Watson, he's still in the race in our view.
As usual, the QBs get the glory, but if he stays healthy, McCaffrey is the NFL MVP.
