Cardinals J.J. Watt Emotional After Win: 'I Was Scared'
It all started on Sunday morning for Arizona Cardinals DE J.J. Watt.
After being deemed questionable on Friday with a calf/illness injury, Watt was questionable heading into Week 4's meeting with the Carolina Panthers but was expected to play.
