Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt caught the third touchdown reception of his career in Sunday's game vs. the Tennessee Titans.

The one-yard grab came two plays after Watt forced and recovered a Titans fumble on the Tennessee 24-yard line.

Watt's previous two touchdown catches came earlier this season, against the Cleveland Brownsin Week 11 and Oakland Raiders in Week 2. Both came within two yards of the end zone.

On the season, Watt he has five total touchdowns (the three receptions, plus a 79-yard interception return and a fumble return), putting him in impressive company:

Watt played tight end in college at Central Michigan before transferring to Wisconsin and switching to defensive end as a walk-on.

Houston (6-6) won, 45-21. Watt finished with three tackles (one for loss) and two sacks in addition to his touchdown, the forced fumble and fumble recovery.
