HOUSTON (AP) — Deshaun Watson spun out of a would-be sack and coolly completed a pass that set up the winning field goal in overtime as the Texans overcame a double-digit deficit in the second half to beat the Buffalo Bills, 22-19, in the first round of the N.F.L. Both teams punted on their first possessions of overtime — the first extra period in an A.F.C. On Houston’s next drive, Watson evaded a sack by wriggling away from one defender and bouncing off another before rolling out to find Taiwan Jones for a 34-yard reception to set up first-and-goal. Watson flexed both arms as the crowd at NRG Stadium went wild — knowing the home team was in position to add another comeback win to Houston’s playoff history. Ka’imi Fairbairn then kicked a 28-yard field goal to lift Houston to victory.
