I don't know about all of that but he is a good man, with a great motor and a great competitor...I wish we had him on our team, he was on our QB all night last night.
And he appears to be a good man off the field.

I don't know about all that either , but saw this on Twitter:
Field Yates @FieldYates
Last night marked the first time Texans DE JJ Watt was held without a sack, tackle for loss and pass defensed in the same game this season.
That said, the beast is extremely impressive. Love the way BB always seeks out gives like that after a game, give them a little acknowledgement. I'd swear for most players one kind word from BB means more to them than all their own coaches' encouragement combined.

PS, stat line a little deceptive there Rico... most times you punch loose a ball you get something out of it other than the other team scoring. And his presences was definitely felt (to the extent anybody on that team's presence was felt.)
PPS, also love BB seeking out guys we may/may not end up seeing in a Pats uni later.

Agreed. And I have to say, this headline raised my eyebrows a bit; "shut Watt down" seems a bit much:
With McDaniels spinning the dial with his assorted schemes and plays, and the players doing the job on the field, the Patriots ended up accomplishing what many thought was impossible this season: Watt was almost a non-factor until the game was out of reach.
Edit: From being on the game thread, I don't think anyone here, including myself, would agree with the "non-factor" comment.

Watt was not a non factor. Drew special blocking by the Pats OL/TE and slammed TFB to the ground several times, hurrying passes, some resulting in incompletions. We just don't notice Watt as much because The GOAT hung in there to rack up an incredible performance under fire. I also believe that TFB adjusted his pass mechanics and trajectory on the short passes to avoid swat downs resulting in several too far misses to Welker whose hands were sub par following his great stretch catch at the 4 yd line. The nearly 6' 6" Bledsoe was king of the blocked pass attempts.

Agreed. He was obviously a point of emphasis in blocking schemes, and still managed to introduce himself to Brady repeatedly during the game. Anyone ever claiming Brady is soft and rattled under pressure should watch this game and his performance. Several of his apparently bad throws were hurries because Watt was about to squash him.
And I was amazed that anyone could run up on little Woodhead to pop that ball loose. I don't really hold that mistake against little Danny as nobody would expect a player with arms as big as Woodhead's torso to run him down from behind and make a stab at that ball. Great athleticism by Watt.
