J.J. Watt tips hat to the Falcons
Houston defensive end J.J. Watt tipped his hat to the Falcons after they defeated the Texans 48-21 on Sunday.
“They were a very good football team,” Watt said.
Watt, a three-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro, had four tackles, one sack and two deflected passes. Falcons tackles Ryan Schraeder and Jake Matthews did a good job of blocking Watt.
“They just played good football,” Watt said.
The Falcons were paced by running back Devonta Freeman’s 149 all-purpose yards.
“I thought he played well,” Watt said. “I thought he was a very good football player. Obviously when you score three touchdowns in a game, you’re a pretty good football player, so I thought he played good football.”
