WATCH: DE J.J. Watt scores the Texans’ first touchdown against the Lions on Thanksgiving

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt intercepted Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford in the first quarter, and then returned the takeaway 19 yards for the Texans’ first touchdown on Thanksgiving Day in Week 12.

For Watt, the interception was the second of his career, and the touchdown was the third defensive touchdown in his 123 career games.

Kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn missed the extra point, which helped the Lions retain their lead 7-6 over Houston.

The interception comes a week after Watt managed to collect four pass breakups against the New England Patriots and quarterback Cam Newton.
