VIDEO: JJ Watt Shouted Out Astros Star Alex Bregman With Sunday Celebration and Bregman Responded
By Adam Weinrib
The synergy in the city of Houston is at a fever pitch right now, with the Astros on a collision course for their second World Series title in three years, and the Texans rolling thanks to Deshaun Watson's superhuman offensive efforts. But don't forget the defender who brought that NFL franchise back to prominence, though. JJ Watt knocked down Matt Ryan on Sunday and showed he's paying attention to the rest of the city's action, mimicking 'Stros star Alex Bregman's home run celebration.

Big gesture from Big 99.
And did Bregman see it? You bet he did, and the slugger has a simple wish for his football counterpart.

If the Astros win Game 3 on Monday, that'll officially eliminate the Tampa Bay Rays from the MLB's postseason, a sacking that is far more painful than any hit Watt could've placed on Matty Ice Sunday afternoon.
Good to see these powerful punishers perfectly aligned.
