Watch: J.J. Watt with an emotional post-game message about the Houston fans

The standout defender delivered an emphatic and emotional answer after the loss to the Bengals about letting the Houston fans down.

The Houston Texans dropped to 4-11 on the season with a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Quarterback Deshaun Watson continued his solid play, throwing for three touchdowns, but the Texans offense struggled in the red zone and the defense could not slow down Brandon Allen and the Bengals’ passing attack.

In defeat, defensive lineman J.J. Watt took to the podium and delivered a message about how this loss stings for him, because he believes the team is not delivering for their fans:

There are obviously changes coming to Houston, with a new head coach and general manager on the to-do list for the organization. But this is the kind of message that will certainly resonate in the locker room, and within the front office.
