Midfielder Josh Da Silva lashed over a free-kick and Benrahma drilled a shot straight at keeper Kamil Grabara.
Leading scorer Watkins twice saw shots blocked by Lewis O’Brien as he failed to add to his impressive 18-goal tally.
Mbeumo dragged a leftfoot shot wide after a burst then Benrahma’s stinging drive was parried and collected by Grabara.
Benrahma blasted over another chance, before on-loan Chelsea midfielder Trevoh Chalobah headed just over with the Terriers’ first chance, just a minute before the break.
Chalobah had a powerful strike deflected wide for a corner as Huddersfield started the second half brightly.
And they should have taken the lead, but leading scorer Karlan Grant inexplicably blazed over from point-blank range after a whipped cross from Arsenal loan forward Emile Smith Rowe.
Smith Rowe forced a smart save from David Raya before the 19-year-old prospect had another shot deflected wide.
Da Silva almost won it for Brentford but struck the right upright at the death.
Huddersfield boss Danny Cowley gave debuts to three new players and reflected: “Brentford are one of the best teams in the league, but the dressing room feels better.
“We’ve dug in, worked really hard and the new players have injected some fresh blood.”
