With organizational chaos dooming the Texans in the last two seasons, ownership reportedly over-relying on the voice and opinions of Jack Easterby and reportedly completely ignoring the voice of Watson, it's hard to fault Watson for wanting out. He's a top-five quarterback coming off his best season, still young and with a contract that will prove to be a bargain in a few years.Total organizational instability — from t...

In a game that saw Brady up against fellow veteran quarterback Drew Brees -- the pair's combined age of 85 years and 169 days is the oldest combined age of opposing starting quarterbacks in a single game -- it was the Bucs' new signing who had the upper hand with two touchdown passes as well as scoring one himself.

Brees (19-of-34 passing, 134 yards, one TD, three INTs, 3.9 yards per attempt, 74.9 passer rating) hit a single-game low in postseason efficiency, and all three of his turnovers were costly. The Saints' best pass in the game was off a first-half trick play, when backup and long-shot successor Jameis Winston delivered a 56-yard touchdown.
