Detroit Lions lead, but J.J. Watt making impact

With 7:38 remaining in regulation, the Lions lead Houston 31-24.

But the Texans aren’t going to make it easy for the Lions to score again.

Defensive end J.J. Watt picked up his third sack of the game on the Lions’ last drive that forced a punt.

The Lions downed the punt on the 3, but clearly they want to score again to put this out of reach.
