J.J. Watt tells a quintessential Philip Rivers story as QB retires

Philip Rivers is retiring from the NFL after what could be a Hall of Fame career, and he took with him some incredible GIFs and trash talk moments.

And it’s the latter that Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt focused on in his tweet honoring Rivers on the ex-Chargers and Colts quarterback’s retirement.

Watt remembered a moment in which Rivers pointed to a Texans linebacker before a playing and “[told] him he was lined up wrong based off the blitz we were about to run.”

Of course, Rivers was right. This is such a great story, isn’t it? Check it out:

I’ll never forget lining up for a play and Phil pointing to one of our linebackers and telling him he was lined up wrong based off the blitz we were about to run and being 100% correct about it haha.

One of the smartest I’ve ever played against and a hell of a competitor. https://t.co/1AZxyvDafu

And then he followed it up by winking to Rivers, who never drops expletives:
