J.J. Watt has said that he hates being on the losing side, following the Houston Texans' 41-28 defeat to the New England Patriots.

The defensive end made four tackles and half a sack during the loss, having led the league in sacks during the regular season.

The 23-year-old told the Texans' website: "We didn't play a good game and they played a very good game, and they're moving on and we're not.

"Losing, I can't stand it. I can't stand any aspect of it. The taste in your mouth is terrible.

"We lost, we're not going home and we're not going on. Congratulations to them. They deserve all the credit."

The Texans finished the regular season with 12 wins and four losses.
