Detroit Lions linebacker James Houston has cleared the air after going viral over his stained pants on Sunday night.
The Lions became the first team to come back and win after committing five interceptions and going down by at least 15 points since 1970, beating the Houston Texans 26-23 with a last-second field goal.
They had absolutely no business winning the โSunday Night Footballโ fixture, but their defense got the job done in the second half, leaving the opposition scoreless.
Houston, who did his part on that side of the ball, started trending on social media after appearing to poop his pants mid-game. Cameras showed him with a yellow-brown stain on his rear, leading many to suggest his bowels had betrayed him at the worst possible time.

The former Jackson State standout has since taken to social media to make it clear that he did not poop himself.
โAy yall I had sat on some Gatorade just chill ๐น๐ฉ,โ he wrote in a tweet.
However, not everyoneโs buying itโฆ
โI donโt remember them making a brown Gatorade, Jamesโฆโ someone pointed out.
โAinโt no Gatorade color in the world got a brown and yellow tint to it twin,โ said another.
โWe donโt even care. You can do it every game. just keep putting those QBs down,โ said a third.
โitโs ok poopy pants we still love you,โ someone else wrote.
Poopy pants or not, the star LB had a stellar game for Detroit, recording a sack and helping force a fumble late in the game.
Unfortunately, heโs going to be remembered more for his stained trousers than his impact on the win.
