If they say that cause we didn’t make the playoffs they have to give it to that kid in cowboy world, the award is a total joke

I hope he breaks the NFL season sack record vs the rats. No way they can shortchange him again after that.

Watt just had one of the truly all-time great seasons by a defender and that was without another top pass rusher with Highsmith still developing, and without Tuitt and Alualu. So impressive.
