Watt celebrates cast coming off with dominant day against Jags
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt played Sunday's 30-6 win overthe Jacksonville Jaguars without a cast on his broken left hand for the first time in nearly a month.
Clearly, he was feeling more comfortable.
Watt sacked Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles on the third play of the game for this 15.5 sack of the season.

In all, Watt finished the afternoon with eight tackles, 3.0 sacks, two passes defensed and a forced fumble. He also recovered a fumble as well.
The NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year broke his hand prior to Houston's Dec. 13 loss to the New England Patriots and played the last three weeks with a cast.
