Deshaun Watson has led Houston's depleted offence to a late clinching field goal in their 13-9 NFL victory over Cincinnati on Thursday.
Watson -- who showed up for the game in a black tuxedo on his 22nd birthday, no less -- and ran 49 yards for a touchdown.
He avoided the rush and ran for a 10-3 lead late in the first half, dashing past befuddled Bengals defenders.
The Texans (1-1) got the most out of their offence, and then let their defence do the rest.
The Bengals (0-2) have failed to score a touchdown in their two games to open a season for the first time in their 50 seasons.
Watson led a 13-play drive that set up Ka'imi Fairbairn's 42-yard field goal with 1min 56sec left.
The Bengals got the ball two more times, but failed to cross midfield.
The Bengals managed only three field goals by Randy Bullock in the loss to the Texans.
