J.J. Watt and the Texans may be bummed after being bludgeoned by the Chiefs 30-0 in the wild-card round, but who better to lift their sports than Arnold Schwarzenegger?

The Schwarzenegger-Watt connection seems odd at first glance, but the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician and the NFL superstar actually have a relationship dating back to June when they met at the CMT Music Awards. Schwarzenegger, 68, had invited Watt to a screening of “Terminator Genisys” and suggested he become the next Terminator.
Watt probably appreciates the encouragement from Schwarzenegger, but it may take a bit more to ease the sting of Saturday's beating in Houston.
