Deshaun Watson is making the most of his unexpected opportunity.
After replacing the benched Tom Savage, the rookie quarterback led the Houston Texans on their first scoring drive of the game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Watson was 5-of-8 for 37 yards during the drive, including the 4-yard touchdown throw - the first of his career - to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
The first-year pro did get lucky. He threw an interception earlier on the drive, but had it wiped by a Jaguars penalty.
Still, a quarterback controversy could be brewing in Houston.
