Watt Watch: Playoff Touchdown Changes Game in Win Over Bengals

J.J. Watt, a Pewaukee High School graduate and former Wisconsin, scores NFL touchdown with Houston Texans.

It looked like the Houston Texans were playing catch up Saturday afternoon against the Cincinati Bengals.

And that’s when J.J. Watt turned the game around when he intercepted Andy Dalton from the Bengals.

And then ran his heart out for a touchdown that gave Houston the lead. Soon after, Watt could be seen on the sidelines with an oxygen mask as he had to get right back there and play defense again.

“I came around and I really was trying to put my hands up, get in the way of the passing lane and it happened to kind of stick,” Watt said after the game. “I realized I had the ball so I was running to the end zone just trying not to fall down. That was it. I scored and got mauled by my teammates and the stadium went absolutely nuts. Thank you to our fans for really helping us change momentum because that was unbelievable.”

The Texans take on the Baltimore Ravens as it looks extend its run in the playoffs.
