Xavier Watts tied Deion Sanders’ record against Los Angeles Rams on “MNF”
Watts intercepted Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford twice in a 27-24 home upset on “Monday Night Football” in Week 17. The first came late in the second quarter on a deep ball intended for wide receiver Xavier Smith.
Watts grabbed his second interception in the fourth quarter when he jumped in front of rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson on a short pass.
