Sunday was a huge day for J.J. Watt.
The former Houston Texans superstar was making his debut as the No. 2 CBS NFL team broadcaster alongside play-by-play man Ian Eagle. And the color commentator got a special assignment.
They were calling Pittsburgh Steelers at New York Jets. And the Steelers' best player is T.J. Watt, J.J.'s younger brother.
That family chemistry paid off.

In the second quarter, T.J. leaped to bat down a Justin Fields pass at the line of scrimmage.
That was J.J.'s specialty. No defensive lineman has ever knocked down passes better than him.
And T.J. made it look good.
J.J. had the perfect line: "He learned that from somewhere."
Eagle joked: "From Ed 'Too Tall' Jones, maybe?"

Earlier in the game, J.J. had predicted, "Number 90 is going to get involved here," referencing his little bro.
It is probably tough to make sure not to say anything too crazy with your brother on the field and yourself in the broadcast booth.
But it seems like J.J., who sounded polished in the early going, found just the right way to mix the familial relation in.
