Watt's Playoff History Bodes Well for Texans Against Chiefs

HOUSTON — J.J. Watt has had plenty of great games for the Texans.

And as Houston looks to end Kansas City's 10-game winning streak in the wild-card round of the playoffs, it can take comfort in this: Some of the star defensive end's best games have come in the postseason.

In four playoff games, Watt has five sacks, 17 tackles, three batted passes and an interception return for a touchdown.

His most notable playoff performance came as a rookie in the 2011 season in Houston's first postseason game against Cincinnati. The game was tied 10-10 when Watt swatted down a pass, grabbed his first career interception and returned it for a touchdown to give Houston the lead in a 31-10 win.
