Pittsburgh Steelers get “turned down for Watt!” by rising Houston Texans

On a day where arguably the greatest player in the history of the Houston Texans, J.J. Watt, was added to the team’s Ring of Honor, it’s only fitting the players and coaches show out. How so, by defeating T.J. Watt and the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6.

Overall, coordinator Bobby Slowik and the Texans offense gained 451 total yards while coordinator Matt Burke’s defense only surrendered 225 yards. Jonathan Greenard had 2 sacks and 3 tackles for loss. Kaimi Fairbairn was perfect, connecting on 3 field goals and 3 XPs.

Rookie quarterback, C.J. Stroud continued to outshine #1 overall pick Bryce Young (whose Carolina Panthers blew a 10-point lead to Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings) and further cemented his place in NFL history.
