JJ Watt reveals how Tony Romo factors into the one play in his career he would redo
JJ Watt joined Kevin Clark on “This Is Football” and while on the show discussed the one play in his career he would change if given the opportunity.
"I was literally trying to kill Tony Romo. I've told this to his face, I was trying to break his back. That was the goal."
What play does @JJWatt want back? When he beat Tyron Smith and went right at Romo.

He chose a play that involved the Dallas Cowboys when current CBS analyst Tony Romo quarterbacked the team.
“The Tony Romo play, where I beat Tyron Smith right off the line of scrimmage fast,” said Watt, “I was literally trying to kill Tony Romo. I’ve told this to his face, I was trying to break his back. That was the goal.”
Instead, Romo spun out of the sack and threw a 43-yard touchdown to Terrance Williams in a 20-17 over the Texans in Week 5 of the 2014 NFL season.
Romo was known for his ability to evade sacks and extend plays throughout his 13-year career all of which came with the Dallas Cowboys.
Watt, one of the NFL’s preeminent sack artists during his 12-year career finished with 114.5 sacks.
