Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton showed Sunday that sometimes the brotherhood of football is bigger than the game.
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was clearly emotional on the sideline as the Texans dropped the game to the Colts, 26-20. As the broadcast was ending, cameras showed Hilton going over to the opposite sideline to check on Watson as he sat on the bench with a towel over his eyes.
