DeShaun Watson Says Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich Healed His Injured Eye

Popeye’s fried chicken sandwich, not just a phenomenon right now, but also great for football injuries. That’s according to NFL quarterback DeShaun Watson.

The Houston Texans player took a kick to the eye during last week’s game against the Oakland Raiders.

This @deshaunwatson play gets more amazing the more I look at it.

I stopped it where
– You can see him get kicked in the eye
– Where he – MID-PLAY – puts his hand up to his face
…then a split second later throws a perfectly placed touchdown pass. pic.twitter.com/H4YqdwFg7u

It must not have bothered him. Watson had two touchdowns and 201 yards in their 26-3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars today in London.

The secret? Popeye’s rereleased chicken sandwich.

After the victory, a reporter asked Watson the key to his victory. His response was the best advertisement for Popeye’s.

“I’ll tell you the key. It was them Popeyes spicy chicken sandwiches that I ate this week that helped the eye.”

I’m gonna assume Watson didn’t have to run into this guy during his Popeye’s run.
