CINCINNATI, OH (WOLO) — Former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson walked into his first NFL start calm and collected, then walked out a winner.

Watson, who ran for a 49-yard touchdown, led Houston’s offense to a 13-9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday night. His touchdown run was the longest by a Texan since Arian Foster had a 51-yarder against the Jaguars in 2014.
