JJ Watt Reacts to Tyler Owens' Viral Video, 'Legitimately One of the Greatest Football Plays'

Former NFL player and current CBS announcer JJ Watt was loving the effort that Washington Commanders safety Tyler Owens displayed on special teams Sunday, splitting two Philadelphia Eagles blockers during punt coverage and fending off other would-be blockers before making a bone-jarring tackle.

"Not just special teams. This is legitimately one of the greatest football plays I've ever seen," Watt wrote on social media. "It doesn't get much better than that right there. Every coach in America will be showing this rep to their team this week."

The play understandably went viral and likely will be played in special teams meetings across all levels of football for some time. That's how you cover a punt.
