Once again, the Pittsburgh Steelers faithful helped take over a road venue, with Steelers fans coming out in droves for the team’s season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. After the game, T.J. Watt gave credit to Steelers fans for their part in the game, calling them “absolutely incredible” and giving them credit for allowing him to recover a fumble by forcing Atlanta to go silent count.
“Steelers Nation is incredible man. It’s extremely demoralizing for an offense to be on a silent count at their home field. Silent count is incredible. Honestly, a lot of those plays go to them.
