Houston Texans star J.J. Watt and Steelers fullback Derek Watt were not happy.

"Aaron Donald is an absolutely incredible player. I love watching him play & he’s headed to the Hall of Fame without question. This has nothing to do with AD personally," J.J. Watt tweeted.

"This is me saying what my brother won’t.

"TJ played 1 less game and STILL led the NFL in every major category."

The Texans’ defensive end tweeted a photo of a table comparing his brother’s defensive stats with Donald.

Derek Watt retweeted his brother’s chart and quote-tweeted T.J.’s photo.
