Five games into the season, Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt has yet to record a sack.
The unprecedented cold streak for the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year doesn't necessarily mean his play has slipped. Watt is still penetrating the backfield a lot, drawing double-team blocking attention and has four quarterback hurries along with 13 tackles, two for losses and two passes defended. Watt didn't record a tackle during a blowout win over the Tennessee Titans.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith doesn't see a difference in Watt, who's made a healthy return from a pair of back surgeries last year.
