J.J. Watt’s late-September thigh bruise was no joke – By Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com

"Watt suffered this injury in the middle of one of his best games of the season. He set a personal record with nine quarterback hits on the Buffalo Bills’ then-starting quarterback EJ Manuel and intercepted one of Manuel’s passes, returning it for one of his five 2014 touchdowns.It was a chippy game. Watt was hit with two roughing-the-passer penalties and he was also the recipient of some “creative” blocking from the Bills that frustrated him some.“I was upset,” Watt said. “I get personal fouls called against me all day. I get some extracurriculars done to me, and I don’t see repercussions on the other side, but that’s fine. That’s kind of how the game goes when you try to play the way I play. The guy on the other team is gunning for you and trying to rile you up.”"
