Matthew Stafford was in a giving mood and J.J. Watt was the recipient.
Watch as the Houston Texans’ star defensive lineman picked off the Detroit Lions’ quarterback on Thursday.
It was the third pick of the year for Houston and Watt turned it into six points with the 19-yard return for a score.
The PAT was missed so Detroit led, 7-6.
JJ WATT PICK-6!!!

Watt had a big game in 2012 on Thanksgiving against Detroit, too.
Watt registered football’s version of the hat trick with three sacks of Stafford.
Some Pittsburgh Steelers were happy.
Yessirrrr!!!!!! Pick 6!!!!!! @JJWatt

And on the Lions’ next offensive play, the Texans forced a second turnover.
