CHARLOTTE, NC — With his lip quivering, Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman JJ Watt was on the verge of tears Sunday night after a 26-16 win over the Carolina Panthers when he talked about the impending birth of his son, and the dichotomy of spending months looking at the ultrasounds of his future son against seeing the ultrasound of his heart on Thursday because he needed its rhythm to be reset after going into atrial fibrillation on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Watt addressed his health situation just minutes after the game while still in full uniform. The 33-year-old tried to balance explaining what happened last week with just winning a game.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, it’s been a very emotional week for my family, for my wife, for myself,” Watt said. “So, I’m very happy to get a win today. Obviously, I’ve had a lot of emotions, but I’ve learned to appreciate the little things even more, and so it’s nice to have a win today.”<\/p>\n
\nI was just told somebody leaked some personal information about me and it’s going to be reported on today.<\/p>\n
I went into A-Fib on Wednesday, had my heart shocked back into rhythm on Thursday and I’m playing today.<\/p>\n
That’s it.<\/p>\n
