TJ Watt Admits He Tried To Scoop And Score After 4th Quarter FF

TJ Watt recorded his first fumble of the season Monday night.

He should’ve had his first fumble recovery, too. He didn’t.

Watt ripped the ball out of Washington back JD McKissic’s hands early in the fourth quarter. He nearly picked up the ball too but instead of falling on it, he attempted to pick it up and run. Unable to get ahold of the ball, he missed the recovery, and the ball was fallen on by TE Logan Thomas.

After the game, Watt admitted he was trying to make the big play instead of simply landing on the ball.
