The Film Room: Witness J.J. Watt's Amazing Ability To Recover Fumbles

Last Sunday, J.J. Watt recovered his thirteenth (13th) career fumble. Mitch Morse's snap grew wings and flew over Alex Smith's head. Watt ran straight ahead and past right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, who was setting the pocket while oblivious to what was going on behind him. Smith chased the bobbling ball. He overran it. He planted, turned, and dove back for it. Unluckily for him, Watt got there the moment Smith dove for it. Watt leaped with his arms wide open and elbowed Smith, knocking him back away from the ball.
