J.J. Watt makes presence felt on defense, offense in Cardinals debut

Playing in his first NFL game for a team besides the Texans, J.J. Watt did J.J. Watt things.

Watt had two tackles - including one for a loss - and lined up in the offensive backfield on a Kyler Murray touchdown run as the Arizona Cardinals torched the Titans 38-13 on Sunday in Nashville.

Watt's defensive numbers weren't huge, but his presence opened things up on the line for fellow pass rusher Chandler Jones, who had a monster game with five sacks and two forced fumbles.

Watt's first tackle as a member of the Cardinals came in the first quarter when he stuffed Titans' load of a running back Derrick Henry for a one-yard loss.
