FILE - In this Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017, file photo, Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (90) returns a recovered fumble for a touchdown as New England Patriots tackle LaAdrian Waddle (68) chases during the first half of an NFL football game in Foxborough, Mass. Clowney's Houston teammates mocked him mercilessly when Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton tackled the defensive end to prevent him from scoring after recovering a fumble two weeks ago. Clowney made up for getting stopped last week when he scooped up another fumble and rumbled 22-yards for a touchdown to not only silence the criticism but impress his teammates in the process.
