Texans QB Deshaun Watson 'tired of losing' after heartbreaking defeat
Will Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson eventually want out of Houston? It seems that way.
Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts marked the fifth time this season that the Texans lost by one score or less. It left Watson feeling especially frustrated.
“I mean, the s--t hurts. I’m tired of losing,” Watson said, per KPRC-TV. “Being so close over the years is just -- yeah, I mean, it’s just tough. It’s tough.”
The Texans trailed the Colts 26-20 on Sunday with the opportunity to win the game in the final moments of the fourth quarter, but a fumbled snap at the two-yard line resulted in Houston suffering another heartbreaking loss in what has been a disappointing season thus far.
Watson did just about everything he could during Sunday's loss, completing 26-of-38 passes for 341 yards while carrying the ball for 38 yards and a score.
Houston's loss to Indy dropped the Texans to 4-8 on the season. For the first time in Watson's three-year career as the team's full-time starter, the Texans likely won't make the playoffs.
The 25-year-old now owns a career 28-21 record, which isn't ideal for someone like Watson, who is considered one of the best young quarterbacks in football.
Watson agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension with the Texans in September, but it seems like he could force his way out before the end of the deal. Even if he doesn't, he could be on the move when his contract expires after the 2025 season.
