J.J. Watt stands alone in NFL history after Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.
With his third sack on Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, Watt became the only player in NFL history to have 20 sacks or more in two different seasons.
"Obviously, to able to do something that's never been done before, it's unreal," Watt said after the game. "It's a testament to my coaches and teammates and everybody around me. I mean, that's one of the coolest things ever."
The two-time All-Pro, who now has 20.5 on the season, logged his first two sacks on the Jaguars second offensive series. His third sack resulted in safety that extended the Texans lead to six points. Fans at NRG Stadium began an MVP chant for Watt, who is currently among the top candidates for the honor.
Andre Johnson agreed wholeheartedly with Texans fans.
"If he doesn't win the MVP, the NFL is out of their mind," Johnson said.
Watt also forced a fumble on his first sack of the day. He now has 12 career forced fumbles, surpassing Mario Williams (11) as the Texans all-time leader.
Watt, named to the 2014 Pro Bowl, recorded eight sacks in the last four games heading into Week 17 against Jacksonville. Last week against Baltimore, Watt became the franchise all-time leader in sacks, passing Williams (2006-11).
"At the beginning of the year, for the team and the organization to show me that commitment by willing to sign me to a long-term deal with the type of money that they did, I'm very fortunate and thankful for that," Watt said. "They gave me a hundred million, I'm trying to give them a hundred million's worth. Whatever that is, offense, defense, special teams, however I can, I'm trying to make sure that they get their money's worth and our fans get their money's worth because they deserve that."
