J.J. Watt cracks joke after bet ends with Burnley goalkeeper

Despite the best efforts of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, J.J. Watt will not be suiting up for the Cincinnati Bengals next season.

In December, Trafford and Watt made a playful wager via Instagram DMs. The five-time All-Pro (and Burnley partial owner) would come out of retirement and play for Trafford's Bengals ... if the 22-year-old goalie didn't concede a goal for the remainder of the season.

However ridiculous the odds, Trafford made an impressive effort at holding his end of the bargain. After the agreement was made, Trafford kept 11 consecutive clean sheets for the club -- a streak of just under 1,000 minutes without a goal allowed.
