Thanks for your support!
I was sitting in row 12 near the 35 yard line. It happened right in front of me. It was so unexpected that the crowd didn't process it at first. Everyone was ready to leave for halftime, so they weren't making much noise when JJ reached up and deflected a ball like he did every game. But this time the ball came down in his hands. The crowd --not yet recognizing this unlikely occurence of a lineman intercepting at almost point blank range-- was still relatively calm during the surreal slow-motion 2.5 seconds that he secured the ball and began running. He was three strides toward the Cincy endzone when the crowd recognized what was happening, then Reliant Stadium became a madhouse. People wents nuts. Friends jumping over seats to hug one another, beer getting splashed, dogs and cats living together. It was a special moment knowing we were going to win our first playoff game in franchise history.That game against cincy in playoffs. He got the pick six..
Probably one of the last times I screamed for the Texans and not at them lololol
Sad part is he could have picked just about any team in the NFL and chose the Cardinals. Money talks. I don't blame him, but damn, shame to see it end this way.Dude left here in an attempt to escape the dysfunction only to run into more of it in AZ….
I remember meeting you and your son in blue lot. I rode there from Austin with Hookem.I took my son and best bud to the first playoff game. We were in the end zone (6th level nose bleeds, of course!) where JJ had the pick 6 and Andre Johnson scored his first post-season TD. That was badass to witness.
Awesome night and one my son will never forget. I remember having so much optimism about the Texans, even after they lost the next week, and they appeared to have a good core of players going into the future. JJ was the foundation of it all.
Nobody should ever wear 99 for the Houston Texans again. I know they don't retire numbers, but it should just be an unwritten rule of respect.
If you remember, the Steelers and Packers didn't have cap room to sign Watt. Unless JJ took the vet minimum. He was limited by those that wanted him and those that could afford him.Sad part is he could have picked just about any team in the NFL and chose the Cardinals. Money talks.

That was a blast!! Blue Crew is always an awesome place to hang out before/after games, and that night was even better because of the win.I remember meeting you and your son in blue lot. I rode there from Austin with Hookem.
The best part about that Andre TD was he scored it against Packman Jones, who I have a special dislike for. It was man coverage and Andre used a double move that left Jones in the dust.
Tampa Bay wanted him and had cap space. They just couldn't pay as much as Arizona.If you remember, the Steelers and Packers didn't have cap room to sign Watt. Unless JJ took the vet minimum. He was limited by those that wanted him and those that could afford him.
The Bucs weren’t really a contender until Brady signed. 2 weeks after Watt signed in Arizona.Tampa Bay wanted him and had cap space. They just couldn't pay as much as Arizona.

My dad told me this is why he didn't take me to Oilers games when I was a kid. He hates those situations.That was a blast!! Blue Crew is always an awesome place to hang out before/after games, and that night was even better because of the win.
We parked at Hermann Park, so had to ride the train back to our ride. That was crazy. Drunk Texans fans fighting each other, rolling out of the train door when it stopped. How can you beat on each other when our team just won their first playoff game?! lol Insane.

Not too sure if that is debatable.I agree with you 99 should be in the rafters. Hopefully, JJ signs a 1 day contract to retire a Texan. And Cal is smart enough to retire the number as well.
'eh, they'd just won the SB. They were still a better winning option than the Cardinals who just had an 8-8 season and hadn't been to the playoffs since 2015.The Bucs weren’t really a contender until Brady signed. 2 weeks after Watt signed in Arizona.
Yep. No one outside of Arizona and the sensationalist media thought they were ever true contenders. JJ got a front row seat as to why when Murray looked overwhelmed in their one playoff appearance.He made his choices.
He knew what joining the Cards meant.
