Watt after Texans' 0-2 start: 'I'm sick of losing'
The Houston Texans aren't having the best start to their 2020 campaign, and a certain former Defensive Player of the Year isn't pleased.
The Texans are 0-2 after allowing 30-plus points during losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs. It's the team's first 0-2 start since the 2018 season, and J.J. Watt shared his frustration following Sunday's defeat.
"These two weeks, we haven't done enough to win the games, and at some point, you gotta start winning 'em. At some point, you gotta win these tough games against tough teams. I'm sick of losing, that's for sure," Watt told reporters postgame.
Watt was particularly displeased with the ejection of Texans defensive tackle Ross Blacklock. The rookie was tossed late in Sunday's game after being penalized for unnecessary roughness.
"It was a stupid play. It was selfish. I've spoken to Ross before. It pisses me off. It's a very selfish move, late in the game," Watt said. "It's dumb, very dumb to hurt your team in that type of setting for no reason."
Watt is off to a strong start. The pass-rusher recorded two sacks in the Week 2 loss, giving him 98 during his career.
The Texans will look to rebound against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday.
