Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt made NFL highlights for coming up with an interception and returning it 80 yards for a touchdown.
However, his impressive game didn’t come without a price. The defensive end was fined for a roughing the passer penalty, which he committed twice. He hit Buffalo Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel around the knees, and the fine is worth exactly $16,537.
