Deshaun Watson Joins New Club

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.
