Deshaun Watson ties rookie record for most touchdowns in a game

The Houston Texans smoked the Tennessee Titans in a 57-14 win Sunday — and rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson made history.

Watson had five touchdowns against the Titans, tying Fran Tarkenton for most touchdowns in a single game by a rookie. 

Watson, a first-round pick, threw for four touchdowns and ran for another. Tarkenton’s original record was set in 1961.
