T.J. Watt says it's too early for comparisons with older brother J.J. Watt's 'unstoppable' prime

 T.J. Watt says it's too early for comparisons with older brother J.J. Watt's 'unstoppable' prime



Watt earned the Defensive Player of the Year award last season while tying the NFL's all-time sack record of 22.5. But Watt doesn't view himself as the best player in his own family just yet.
Now that he's retired and gone, who is the better player, he or brother JJ Watt -- currently playing with the Arizona Cardinals T.J. said that he still doesn't stack up to J.J.'s career.
In a candid interview with NFL Network, Watt on how recognition of his brother's greatness has been "strange," and how he believes his brother would be upset if he thought how people viewed him.
Justin Watt's brother talks about how his brother was one of the most dominant players in NFL history. He speaks fondly of his brother and how "misconstrued" his legacy is.
Following his three-sack performance against the Ravens in 2017, now-retired J.J. Watt earned two of his four career Defensive Player of the Year awards (2012 and 2015). Watt finished second in MVP voting in 2014 after finishing first in 2012 when he created havoc for opposing offenses.
J.J. Watt is an absolute beast. The sack-happy defensive end has been a super star for the entirety of his six-year career, racking up two seasons with at least 20.5 sacks and capturing three individual awards -- Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player and MVP in 2012 -- along the way.

 New York Jets coach Adam Gase didn't hesitate to accept blame for a fourth-down decision that cost the team a win.  It all started when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez hit receiver Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown with 9 minutes 53 seconds remaining to give New York a 24-17 lead over the Buccaneers. But instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called for a running play that left more than four minutes on the clock. When Schottenheimer called timeout after Holmes scored, he tried to explain his actions. The Jets' fourth-quarter decision to not have quarterback Sam Darnold run the play on fourth-and-2 against the Patriots came from a directive by offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur that Darnold should throw the ball instead of run on the play. But LaFleur "looked around and saw four guys in formation," he said in a news conference Monday, referring to safety Duron Harmon, center David Andrews and both tackles. "

Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos.

 Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos. For a veteran making his third consecutive start at quarterback, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has no expectations for himself in Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lock has struggled in his two starts, averaging a respectable but unspectacular 6.4 yards per attempt. And for all of the criticism that some of his decisions on Sunday drew—namely, throwing a fade to a double-covered Tyrell Williams down 20-0 late—those came against an all-pro interior that only allowed 115 rushing yards in total, 49 yards from scrimmage from Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman combined and still recorded three sacks. Lock played well enough to win, and if the Broncos exploit their advantages agains. Broncos rookie QB Drew Lock drew favorable comparisons to fellow former Missouri standout and current Chiefs starter Patrick Mahomes. But the 2019 second-round pick was the clear third rival to Chad Kelly for the No. 2 r
