The Houston Texans fulfilled your wildest Madden dreams, letting J.J. Watt take a direct snap in the wildcat and run the ball right behind defensive tackle Vince Wilfork. The only problem is, the play was terrible.
Of course the Chiefs stuffed it; they knew exactly what the play was. What else were the Texans going to do in that formation?
It was like the Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin's parents give him a cigarette. Sometimes you have to learn your lessons the hard way. Watt did.
