It was a pretty good day for football yesterday – our Texans won, the Cowboys lost, and J. J. Watt showed everyone why he is worth every penny of his huge new contract.
Watt conducted a clinic on how to play defense that had all the sports announcers tripping over themselves trying to find new superlatives. He celebrated his new contact by racking up five hits, one pass deflection, a sack and three tackles for loss. He would have scored two sacks, but as he was going down, Robert Griffin III threw the ball away and was tagged for intentional grounding. Oh, Watt also recovered a Washington fumble, and just for the heck of it, he blocked the extra point kick on Washington’s only touchdown.
The one truly disturbing event in the game was Jadeveon Clowney, our number one draft pick, going out in the first half with a knee injury. First reports are that he suffered a torn meniscus, will probably have surgery today, and is probably out for about six weeks.
