Sunday began a hell of a lot better than it ended for J.J. Watt and the Arizona Cardinals
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Hours before the Cardinals took the field here for their final game of the season and J.J. Watt arrived at Levi’s Stadium for the final game of his NFL career, the star pass rusher was greeted with a special message on social media by his two younger brothers.
Before their team meeting Saturday night, coach Kliff Kingsbury had a special surprise for Watt and the entire group. It was a 10-minute video tribute to No.99 and included personal shout outs by Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, T.J. Watt and others. To say the Cardinals were shorthanded on Sunday would be an understatement. They’ve used a franchise-record 81 different players and had eight players out Sunday because of injuries and that was on top of having already sent 19 different players to season-ending injured reserve, the third most of any team in the league.
“He is an amazing player,” Beachum, an 11-year veteran, said. “The frame that he has, the ability that he has to bend, the way he plays with his hands, his effort is outstanding. It’s always been outstanding. From an offensive lineman, you hate him. You want him to be on your team and luckily, I’ve been a teammate of his the last two years and have appreciated it battling him in practice much like I battled against him a number of years when he was in Houston.
