Whats next for Texans after Watt injury? For the third time in four seasons, the Texans saw star defensive end J.J. Watts season cut short due to injury. But nobody in the league will feel sorry for the Texans, so how do they move on without Watt out after he suffered a torn pectoral muscle in Sundays 27-24 win over the Oakland Raiders? The Texans could also try to look for help in the trade market before Tuesday's trade deadline, but any trade made wouldn't be major. But ultimately, the biggest key to keep winning without Watt will be quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Deshaun Watson threw for 351 yards and hit Jordan Akins with two of his three touchdown passes, and J.J. Watt had two of the Texans' five sacks of Philip Rivers in their 27-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. PHOTOS: Texans take on ChargersKeenan Allen caught 13 passes for a career-high 183 yards and two touchdowns from Rivers, who passed for 318 yards in the Bolts' second straight loss. Houston went up 27-17 with 9:40 to play on a typically magical effort by Watson , whose escape abilities usually kept him one step ahead of the Chargers' tough pass rush. The Chargers trimmed the lead to seven points and then drove into Houston territory in the final minute, converting two fourth downs along the way. After Rivers' fumble ended Los Angeles' next drive deep in Texans territory, Watson hit a wide-open Akins for a 15-yard TD to put Houston ahead late in the third.
