Detroit Lions linebacker James Houston is vehemently denying that he pooped his pants during Sunday Night Football against the Houston Texans.
A video of Houston with a brown-colored stain on the back of his white uniform pants went viral on social media – with many wondering if the linebacker had an unfortunate accident.
Houston, the 217th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Jackson State, took to social media to defend himself.
‘Ay yall I had sat on some Gatorade just chill,’ Houston posted along with a crying laughing cat emoji and a poop emoji.
While Houston was getting relentlessly trolled on social media for the accident that wasn’t, his team was in the midst of putting on a massive comeback against the Texans.

The Texans went into the half up 23-7 after three first half interceptions from Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
Goff would tack on two more interceptions in the second half – bringing his total on the night up to five.
But miraculously, the Texans didn’t score a single second-half point – allowing Detroit to mount a massive comeback to win the game with a last-second field goal from kicker Jake Bates.
The Lions became the first team since 1970 to win a game despite tossing five interceptions and being down by 15 points.
It’s yet another accomplishment in a miraculous season that sees the Lions sitting atop the NFC at 8-1.
They’ll look to continue their seven game winning streak this week with a game on Sunday against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars.
