HOUSTON (SportsRadio 610) -- Once the excitement of Sunday's nail biter ended, a reality set in: it could have been J.J. Watt's final game as a Houston Texan.
It was a quiet night for Watt with just three total tackles, and he still led the team with two tackles for loss.
The Texans were again on the losing end of a close game, their eighth one-score loss of the season (4-12).
Watt, 31, who played in all 16 games, has no more guarantees on his contract. It's possible the Texans could trade, release, or restructure Watt's contract for 2021.
