Christmas Day at NRG Stadium proved to be a unique experience for J.J. Watt.
The Houston Texans defensive end, who is out for the season with a leg injury, was in attendance to watch his team battle the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 16 showdown. While the three-time Defensive Player of the Year was stuck in the stands as a spectator, the Watt family still was represented on the gridiron.
That’s because J.J.’s younger brother, T.J., is a rookie linebacker for the Steelers. And when the younger Watt was flagged for a neutral-zone infraction penalty in the first quarter, his big brother couldn’t help but applaud with a big ‘ole smirk on his face.
Sibling ribbing at its finest.
T.J. ended up getting the last laugh, though, as Pittsburgh cruised to a 34-6 victory.
