The play was the start of a huge game for Watson. He was 28-for-33 with 428 passing yards and five touchdowns. He also rushed for 47 yards on four attempts.
According to ESPN, Watson is one of six quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era to have at least three games with five passing touchdowns and zero interceptions. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed the feat seven times during his illustrious career.
