Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was fined $16,537 by the NFL on Friday for one of his hits on Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel during last Sunday’s game.

The fine was for a Watt hit on Manuel in the knee area. Watt hit Manuel nine times during the game and was flagged twice for roughing the passer.

Earlier this week, Watt was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Bills. Watt returned an interception 79 yards for a touchdown and had five tackles in the Texans’ 23-17 victory.

So far this season, Watt has 15 tackles, two sacks and the interception. He also has caught a touchdown pass while lining up at tight end.

The Texans (3-1) face the Dallas Cowboys (3-1) on Sunday.
