Deshaun Watson

Press Conference


Bengals 37, Texans 31

Q. Deshaun, go back to the play with 1:57 left when you took the snap. What happened and what happened for you to get hurt?

DESHAUN WATSON: I was just throwing the ball and the guy just hit my arm. That was pretty much it on that one.

Q. Did you think you were going to have to stay out or what did you think when you got hurt?

DESHAUN WATSON: No. I was just -- just let my arm just kind of settle in and then just kind of go from there and just take it one moment at a time really.

Q. To have that many yards, your best running game this season, how frustrating was it to lose that game?

DESHAUN WATSON: I mean, it's tough. We've just got to play a complete football game as a whole team. One side of the ball can't really win it.

Q. Would you characterize it as an elbow or a hand thing? What was sort of the takeaway after they looked at you in the tent?

DESHAUN WATSON: They were just checking it out, just being precautious. But I'm pretty fine now.

Q. Do you feel like you could play next week if you have to?

DESHAUN WATSON: Yeah, I will. I'll play.

Q. When you lose both of your starting tackles, does that affect your pocket presence at all? Does it affect how you guys approach the play calling? How does that impact you guys in game?

DESHAUN WATSON: No, it doesn't affect me. I just continue to just focus on my job and just kind of go from there. I can't answer the play calling thing. That's more for Tim Kelly, but for me, I just try to go out there and just execute.

Q. Why did the running game work so well today? It was your season high rushing yards by far.

DESHAUN WATSON: I'm not sure, man. Just I guess David did a good job of finding the holes and trusting it and making one guy miss and then just taking it from there. He did a good job of find of those correct holes and running the ball. It was very good to see.
