Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson sent out a motivational text to teammates to try and get them amped up heading into their Wild Card matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
According to running back Carlos Hyde, Watson sent out a text message to everyone on the offense, reminding them to be great.
“Deshaun sent a mass text out to the offense, that was something different, just telling guys, ‘Let's be great,' before practice,” running back Carlos Hyde said via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. “That was something that was different.”
Watson's motivational texts come just a few days after JJ Watt gave a speech after a practice that Laremy Tunsil said gave him chills.
“I’m glad to have him back for sure,” Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil said. “You should have heard that speech he said at practice. It kind of gave us chills. It was a good speech. It’s great to have a leader like J.J. Watt back. Let’s go.”
Hyde said he wasn't around for the speech by Watt, but the Texans are trying to stay focused because they know they are going to need their best game of the season to make it to the divisional round.
“I wasn't here for J.J.'s speech after practice,” Hyde said. “That's good that guys are preaching about being focused. We need that during the playoffs, for sure.”
The emotional speeches and text messages are great, but it's still going to come down to how the Texans perform on the field on Saturday.
