The Houston Texans are taking on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, in what has been a highly anticipated matchup.
This will be the first game that Deshaun Watson will play a game in a Browns uniform.
It also happens to be the first game that he’s played against the Texans since they traded him.
Among all of the Watson news, there has been another side story that has played out between two other players.
This tweet refers to Kyle Allen, the current quarterback for the Texans, and Myles Garrett, the defensive end for the Browns.
Allen will have his work cut out for him against Garrett, who is one of the best defensive players in the NFL.
Garrett was drafted first overall by the Browns in the 2017 NFL Draft and has had a stellar career ever since.
Allen Versus Garrett
In 78 games, Garrett has racked up 233 total tackles, 68.5 sacks, and 13 forced fumbles.
He is certainly a force to be reckoned with, potentially bad news for Allen, given his lack of NFL experience.
Allen has only started in 18 career games.
After not being drafted, Allen was picked up by the Carolina Panthers, and later signed with the Washington Commanders, and has found a place on the Texans roster.
Allen did start last week for the Texans in the absence of Davis Mills.
In this game, Allen completed 26/39 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.
With the combination of this Texas A&M rivalry, and Watson returning to the field, this should be a matchup for the ages.
