The Arizona Cardinals put together one of the more impressive Week 1 performances with their dominant 38-13 win over the Titans on Sunday in Nashville. Between Kyler Murray pulling off video-game-like moves and Chandler Jones’ five-sack game forcing Taylor Lewan to apologize on Twitter, there was a lot for Arizona fans to be happy about.
And it certainly looked like J.J. Watt was pleased with his decision to join the Cardinals defense.
The Cardinals posted some mic’d-up video from Sunday’s game, and it focused on Watt’s stunned reaction to Jones on the Arizona bench. He obviously knew that Jones was awesome, but five sacks and two forced fumbles in Week 1?! Watt had to ask Jones how. The exchange was great.

Watt repeated to Jones several times, “Are you serious?!”
To that, Jones said:
“We’ve got the opportunity to do something great.”
Watt had the perfect response to that:
“We doing it. YOU doing it!”
The Titans definitely knew it too. It was that kind of game for Jones.
