by - Assoc. Editor -

Don't mess with Texas.

The Houston Texans are on fire behind the quarterback play of young Deshaun Watson as they won their fifth straight victory in a 42-23 win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.

Watson was 16-for-20 for 239 yards and matched his career-high with five touchdowns (13, 2, 73, 49, and 2) including two to DeAndre Hopkins.

The former Clemson quarterback has 34 career touchdown passes which moves him ahead of Dan Marino for the second-most in NFL history (Kurt Warner No. 1) in their first 15 starts.
