In plenty of households in the states, a Thanksgiving game of football in the backyard is as essential as a turkey.
And it seems that in JJ Watt’s house, that’s no different.
The Houston Texans defensive end tweeted some of the rules for backyard footbal in the Watt house, and while he kindly insists that the kids be allowed play, it also seems to be full-contact, once it’s above the knee and below the shoulder.
Check out those fines for dangerous play though. You can’t deny a man a bit of pie on Thanksgiving, not even for maiming an 11-year-old.
Keep hits on all-time QB above knees and below neck or risk being fined 2 pieces of pie. #BackyardTurkeyBowlRules

Each team must have at least one player from the kids table. Failure to comply results in dish-washing duty. #BackyardTurkeyBowlRules

Failure to count to 4 Mississippi before rushing the passer will result in an automatic first down. #BackyardTurkeyBowlRules
