But that defense, IIRC was the worst RZ defense in the playoffs going in, perhaps the worst overall defense in the playoffs. Case in point, they allowed 51 consecutive points or something like that. Something like 6 TDs from inside the RZ. I don't care what QB you have, that's a big anchor around your neck.

Without the special teams scoring a touchdown on the blocked punt and setting the Texans up inside the 10 on Tyreek's fumble, the Watson led Texans only score 10 points in the first half. Let's not act like Watson was playing his ass off in the first half. He had one long touchdown pass to a wide open receiver on a busted coverage. Other than that his play was very pedestrian. He wasn't the main problem with that shitty team, but IMO he isn't part of the solution either. He's a good, not great quarterback who will always be just good enough to get the team to the playoffs occasionally and then dissappoint in the playoffs vs. teams led by superior QBs. He's Phillip Rivers with better athleticism.
