Brandon Hill's Key Turnover Defines Game's Momentum

An impressive moment from the recent NFL game was created by Houston Texans’ safety Brandon Hill who took advantage of the mistake chosen by Pittsburgh Stealers’ wide receiver Quez Watkins. Namely, Watkins, who was covering punt return duties, has fumbled the ball which was promptly picked up by Hill. What is more, it was not just an ordinary fumble since it is a key turnover of the game. The given play has defined the course of the game since remaining with the possession of the ball was critical but it was also important to prevent the other team from scoring. Thus, the given case, where the ball was recover by one of the defending players, initiated the rolling of the momentum in favour of the Houston Texans.

To start with, Quez Watkins is one of the fast and agile players with good hands and he possesses his value for the special teams, alongside being usually involved in the receiving core as well. However, this situation demonstrates how much pressure there is on the players in the crucial situations, and facing these with limited experience is quite challenging. Additionally, it makes the given situation comparable to the recoveries as those produced by Hill since the moment being crucial initiates the tension and sheds the light on how professional those athletes are. To conclude, I assume Quez Watkins will consider this situation to be a key learning point for himself as he progresses through his career in the NFL. At the same time, it should be noted that Houston Texans’ defence and those plays should be noted to become one of their strengths throughout the season.
