Jan. 4 (UPI) -- The Houston Texans looked to be on the wrong end of a blowout before quarterback Deshaun Watson took off for a bruising touchdown run against the Buffalo Bills Sunday in Houston.

Watson's Texans trailed 16-0 with 1:41 remaining in the third quarter when Watson took the snap on a 1st and 10 play from the Bills' 20-yard line. Watson faked a handoff before running to his right. He hit the edge with blockers ahead and weaved through the Bills secondary.

Watson then slammed into several Bills players near the five-yard line before pulling them into the end zone, cutting the Bills' lead in half. The Texans star also ran in for a two-point conversion after the score, cutting the Bills' lead to eight points.

The Bills led 16-11 with 11 minutes remaining.

The Baltimore Ravens will host the lowest remaining seed from the AFC divisional round Jan. 11 in Baltimore. The Kansas City Chiefs will host the highest remaining seed from the divisional round Jan. 12 in Kansas City, Mo.
