The New England Patriots were showing some signs of life with their first touchdown of the day. However, the Houston Texans wasted no time in revealing a trick up their sleeve to help maintain the lead.

The Texans capped a nine-play, 75-yard drive with on a spectacular option pass from wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to quarterback Deshaun Watson, via NFL Twitter:

It is safe to say that this was quite the misdirection from Houston. Meanwhile, the execution from Hopkins could not be any better as he waited until the last second and even took the hit in order to get the pitch-off at the right moment.

Both players are regarded as two of the best at their position and it is easy to see why given their ability to make plays happen. Although DeAndre Hopkins is usually on the receiving end of his connection with Deshaun Watson, they had no problem reversing the roles in order to put some more points on the board in dramatic fashion.
