Players react to Deshaun Watson's first career TD run

Happy birthday, Deshaun Watson!

After a so-so first half in his first career start, the Texans rookie quarterback finally had his "Welcome to the NFL" moment, breaking a collapsing Houston pocket and scampering through Bengals defenders for a 49-yard touchdown run on Thursday Night Football. The Texans went on to win the game, 13-9.

Members of the NFL fraternity couldn't contain their excitement.
