J.J. Watt was extremely emotional on Sunday afternoon in North Carolina.
"It's tough," Watt said,."My wife was by my side all the time. So, that helped a lot, and then, just, I didn't know what else to do. I have been playing this game my whole life. They said I was fine. So, once my heart was reset, they said, 'You're fine. If you feel comfortable.'
"I'd probably be more uncomfortable sitting on my couch at home. You know, this is what I know. Right or wrong. Maybe that's messed up, but if I was sitting at home watching the boys play and knowing that they said I was perfectly fine to play, I would have felt weird, so, I just did what I know.""[It was] just a scary deal for everybody," Kingsbury said,Watt seemed like his normal self during their win at Bank of America Stadium, too.
The 33-year-old, who is in his second season with the Cardinals, had three tackles and played in all but 10 defensive snaps.."So, I'm very happy to get a win today. Obviously, I've had a lot of emotions, but I've learned to appreciate the little things even more, and so it's nice to have a win today."
