Former Clemson defensive lineman Carlos Watkins provided one of the highlights of the night for the Dallas Cowboys in Thursday night’s NFL game.
Late in the fourth quarter, Watkins scored a big-man touchdown when he intercepted Saints quarterback Taysom Hill and returned it 29 yards to the house to put the finishing touches on what ended up being a 27-17 victory for the Cowboys at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Check out what they are saying about Watkins’ pick-six in the primetime NFL game:

Carlos Watkins (29-yd Pick Six)
Taysom Hill tried to catch the Cowboys defense off guard by snapping the ball just 0.5 seconds after the line was set (an offensive penalty). No matter, Watkins picks off a pass that was in the air for just 0.5 seconds.#DALvsNO | #DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/SIZxW4GiGR
