T.J. Watt gets shout-out from J.J. Watt after game-sealing sack

Steelers' T.J. Watt earnes rookie's top Week 1 honor.

The Baltimore Ravens had a shot to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of Sunday night’s game, but T.J. Watt crushed that dream.

With time running out, Watt strip-sacked Joe Flacco. The ball rolled out of bounds with 10 seconds left on the clock, causing the refs to blow the game over following a 10-second run-off.

Right after the play, J.J. Watt tweeted out some strong support for his younger brother.

It’s got to be thrilling to watch your younger sibling have such a positive impact as a rookie. The elder Watt is recovering from a season-ending injury but continues to find joy watching the game, obviously, and seeing T.J. Watt dominate.

The sack of Flacco was Watt’s sixth this year. He’s also racked up 42 tackles and an interception this year. And his last one helped not only seal Sunday night’s win but also the AFC North crown for Pittsburgh, which moved to 11-2 on the season.
