Former Houston Texans All-Pro pass rusher JJ Watt didn't understand the Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell's call to go for an onside kick with the Lions down 10 points with 12 minutes remaining.
The call surprised many, and Bills receiver Mack Collins recovered the ball and returned it to the 5-yard line, allowing Buffalo to score on the next play.
After the game, Watt took to social media to question Campbell's decision to go for an onside kick so early in the game.
"I “think” I could wrestle a small bear, that doesn’t mean I should try it. I love that DC believes in his squad so much that he thinks everything they do will be successful. But onside kicks have a 7% success rate. Trying one with 12 min left while only down by 10 was insane," Watt wrote.
