Watt became the first player to record two seasons with
20-plus sacks to advance his claims for the league's Most
Valuable Player award.
But despite Watt having three sacks, including a fourth-quarter
safety, in a 23-17 home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the
Texans failed to make the playoffs, losing out to Baltimore in
their bid for a wild-card spot in the postseason.
The sacks gave him 20.5 for the season. He also had 20.5 sacks
in 2012.
"It's very weird, I don't know," Watt, a Pro Bowl selection in
2012 and 2013, told reporters when asked if he was celebrating
the Texans' win in their regular-season finale or mourning their
failure to reach the postseason.
"I wasn't ready for it (the season) to end."
