Florio lays out what has to happen for the Texans to trade Deshaun Watson

WATSON WATCH

Monday on NBC Sports, Mike Florio and Chris Simms react to a report from Yahoo's Charles Robinson that the Dolphins are the front-runners for a possible Deshaun Watson trade. Florio discusses all the scenarios that could lead to a Watson trade, and shares why the Texans might be tempted to take pennies on the dollar and trade him sooner rather than later. Which would most likely involve Cal McNair and/or Jack Easterby not wanting to pay Watson over $10 million to not play in 2021.

Eric Murray returned one of Justin Herbert's career-high four interceptions for a touchdown, C.J. Stroud threw a TD pass and the Houston Texans rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a wild-card playoff game Saturday.

It’s the second straight year Stroud and the Texans (11-7) won in the first round after they beat Cleveland last season.

Herbert threw just three interceptions in the regular season and had never thrown more than two in a game before facing a Texans secondary led by AP All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley, who had two INTs. Kamari Lassiter had the other pick.

The Chargers (11-7), who returned to the playoffs under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, lost in the wild-card round for a second straight time after also losing in the 2022 season to remain without a postseason win since 2018.

Stroud threw for 282 yards with the touchdown pass to Nico Collins and an interception. Collins finished with seven catches for 122 yards. Joe Mixon ran for 106 yards and a score.

Herbert was 14 of 32 for 242 yards with a 40.9 passer rating.
