The Houston Texans lost at home on Sunday to the Bengals, 37-31, which was their fourth straight loss and dropped them to 4-11 in what has been a brutal season for a team that won a playoff game last year.
After the game Texans star J.J. Watt was asked about what it takes to finish up such a tough season. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year answered that question but going off on an emotional rant in which he explained why the players need to give it their all every week because it’s their job and that they owe it to the fans who spend so much of their time and money to support them.
This was really good and powerful:
THIS is why we love @JJWatt

This right here is why I said I’m proud of what the Jets are doing. They didn’t just roll over. They beat back to back playoff teams. Win or lose bring it everyday!! Give it everything you have REGARDLESS of outcome!! Because it’s a privilege not a a right. Love it! @JJWatt https://t.co/CK9xVfyhPd
