J.J. Watt Explains Why Facing Bill Belichick, Tom Brady Was 'Really Frustrating'

Daniel Dunn/Icon Sportswire via Former Houston Texans defensive end and likely future Pro Football Hall of Famer J.J. Watt explained this week what it was like going up against the Bill Belichick-coached and Tom Brady-quarterbacked New England Patriots over the years.

During an appearance Monday on the , Watt said the following about how the Pats were consistently able to frustrate him:

Over the course of his 12-year NFL career, 10 of which were spent in Houston, Watt established himself as a dominant force.

In addition to recording 114.5 sacks, 27 forced fumbles and 195 tackles for loss, Watt was a five-time Pro Bowler, five-time First Team All-Pro and three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

As great was he was most weeks, success truly did elude Watt during his career against the Patriots, as he posted a 1-7 record against New England. Watt also never recorded a single sack against the Pats, instead settling for six tackles for loss, four passes defended and one forced fumble.

The Patriots were essentially Watt's Kryptonite, but that can be said for many great players who had to deal with Belichick and Brady over the years.

It is tough to create a strong argument against the notion that Belichick and Brady are the greatest coach-quarterback tandem in NFL history, as their six Super Bowl wins together eclipse everyone else.

Watt provided a glimpse into why the Pats were able to stay on top for so long, as Belichick always had them prepared and Brady was able to execute the gameplan to near perfection.
