Texans star JJ Watt showed love to Colts QB Philip Rivers after his retirement announcement.

The Indianapolis Colts have grown alarmingly susceptible to losing players to early retirements, which made it all the more ironic that fans were stunned when Philip Rivers announced earlier this week that he was calling it a career after 17 seasons.

The timing of the reveal was especially surprising, as it was previously surmised that Rivers would take approximately four weeks to mull over whether his body was capable of enduring another grueling schedule of fixtures…even if he was playing behind the Colts’ thickset offensive line.
