Texans' J.J. Watt plucks pass out of air for Turkey Day TD

A game after batting down a career-high four passes, Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt intercepted a pass by Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and ran 19 yards for a touchdown.

It was his first touchdown since he scored on a one-yard receiving touchdown from Ryan Fitzpatrick in October 2014.

It was his seventh career TD, including the playoffs, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He had five tackles, three sacks and two pass breakups in the other Thanksgiving game he has played in, in 2012 against the Lions.
