Prior to the 2012 NFL season, Jj Watt had a successful rookie season for the Houston Texans, notching 5.5 sacks to go along with 56 tackles. Not too shabby for a first round selection who was playing with one of the best pass rushers in the league, Mario Williams. This past season for Jj Watt, however, was one of the finest seasons in the history of the NFL for a defensive end, let alone any defensive player. Wrecking every offense he went up against each week, Watt recorded 20.5 sacks, 81 tackles, and 16 passes defended, a statistic that is unheard of by a defensive end. Knocking away balls left and right from all quarterbacks through 16 games, Jj Watt soon enough earned the nickname “Jj Swatt”. At the end of the season, he earned himself many accolades, but none more valuable than Defensive Player Of The Year.
Watt’s sensational year is what one would call...

The 2012 NFL Season kicks off this week so it’s the perfect time to put myself out there with some Afc Predictions for the division winners and wildcard teams. I had the chance to fully study every team during preseason, analyze how the rookies will fit in, and dissect all the important off season moves.
I’ll tackle the Afc predictions this time out and hit on the Nfc when we meet again. Dare I say, you can take these predictions to the bank!
Afc North
Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens made the playoffs the last 4 seasons, and won their division last year. They have as good a Head Coach / Gm combo as there is in the NFL. Joe Flacco is just a good enough quarterback to win with, as tailback Ray Rice can do the rest. The offense should be very good in 2012 but this being Baltimore it’s still all about the defense.
