Watson has now proven that he can play well against bad defenses after taking advantage of the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans. His first real test will come this Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
As talented as the Chiefs are on defense, they’re currently giving up 248 yards through the air per game. That ranks them 25th in the NFL in pass defense. But their pass rush has racked up 11 sacks in four games.

While the Texans’ offensive line has looked better over the past two weeks, they will have their hands full with the likes of Justin Houston.
