Down 13-0, the Houston Texans turned to J.J. Watt and Vince Wilfork on offense.

It didn't work.

Watt lined up at quarterback, took a snap out of shotgun formation and ran behind the 325-pound Wilfork, who was an extra blocker. The Chiefs weren't surprised and stuffed Watt for a 2-yard loss.

Brian Hoyer then threw an interception so the Texans didn't get anything after their best drive.

Watt has three career receptions and each was a touchdown. This was his first carry.
