JJ Watt smashed Russell Bodine to the ground

J.J. Watt decided enough was enough by smashing Russell Bodine to the ground in Houston Texans' match with Cincinnati Bengals.

The defensive end confirmed the 13-9 victory for the Texans when the Bengals' possession found Bodine, prompting Watt to clatter into the 310-pound centre.

It was a memorable birthday for rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson, who celebrated by getting his first NFL start, his first touchdown and his first win.

The Texans and the Bengals had endured losing starts to the season in Week One and while both teams looked nervous and edgy, it was the hosts who slumped to a 0-2 record and failed to score a touchdown for the second consecutive week, having been shutout by Baltimore last Sunday.

In contrast, the Texans - beaten by Jacksonville at home last week - claimed an important victory and had quarterback Watson to thank as he led the team in rushing courtesy of the game-winning touchdown in the second quarter at Paul Brown Stadium.
