The Houston Texans have been battling all night long trying to get back into the football game against the Indianapolis Colts after going down early 24-0, and J.J. Watt has been huge for their defense. He has recorded two sacks, two defenses passes, six total tackles, and returned a touchdown 55 yards for a touchdown. This fumble return is in addition to an 80-yard interception that he returned for a touchdown earlier in the season.

Needless to say, Watt has put himself in the MVP discussion and could very well end up winning it if he is able to keep up anything close to this type of production. Indianapolis is barely hanging onto the lead, and this game is far from over. Houston may not be the most talented team out there, but having Watt making plays on defense can completely change the game.

If you haven’t been watching this game so far, it might be time to tune into CBS to watch the rest of it. Both teams are leaving everything on the field, and it has been the definition of a dogfight.
