Cam Newton has been an effective runner for the New England Patriots this season, but Deshaun Watson proved he's also a dangerous threat with his legs. To give the Houston Texans a lead over Newton's Patriots, Watson showed off his strength to find the end zone on the ground.

The @HoustonTexans take a 14-10 lead! #WeAreTexans

After taking the snap on second and goal, Watson surveyed the field but was unable to find an open receiver. He would then tuck the ball down, setting his sights on getting into the end zone for the Texans.
Despite making it look like he was going to cut to the outside, Watson cut it upfield and put his shoulder into oncoming defenders. The mobile quarterback would be able to score, giving the Texans a 14-10 lead over the Patriots.
Watson hasn't used his legs as much this season, scoring just one rushing touchdown prior to Week 11.
But with the Texans needing everything they can get from him, Watson scored his first rushing touchdown since Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
