Houston Texans and Cincinnati Bengals played their annual primetime game that no one cares about on Thursday night. Texans became victorious in an ugly 10-9 road win to give Deshaun Watson his first win as an NFL quarterback. But the highlight of the night had to be the final play of the game when JJ Watt completely obliterated an offensive lineman. It was a walkoff play by Watt, and the best way for Houston to finish the game as their defense dominated in this one.

This is about as clean and perfect of a tackle as you’re going to see from a player. I’m sure that lineman will be feeling it for a few days as he’s not used to getting hit that way. As a lineman, you wait your entire football career to get a chance to run with the football, and the Bengals center’s dream ended mighty quick with a monster hit from Watt. ESPN should consider bringing back ‘JACKED UP’ for that hit alone.

Other quick observations – Bengals may be a bottom five team in the league, Watson should enough promise to think he could do some things to put Houston in the playoff race especially if this defense is cooking. Cincinnati heads to Green Bay next week while Houston heads to New England.
