Another standout effort has earned Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt AFC Defensive Player of Week honors once again.

Watt was recognized for the fifth time in his career after his performance in Houston's 24-17 win over of the New York Jets on Sunday.

The five-year veteran recorded a team-high eight solo tackles, 2.0 sacks and five hits on Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Watt leads the NFL in sacks with 11.5, with the win over New York marking his fourth multi-sack game of the season.

The 26-year-old Watt last won the award after Week 11 of the 2014 season.

He'll attempt to add on to the accolades when the Texans host the New Orleans Saints this week.
