Watt says ref admitted he was held on no-call

HOUSTON -- After defensive end J.J. Watt felt he was held on a play during the Texans' 13-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, he looked over at the referee to see why there was not a call.

"The ref literally admitted to me that the guy held me on one play and he didn't throw the flag," Watt said. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that, when after a play I look over to the ref, and he says, 'Yes, I saw him hold you. But I didn't throw the flag.
