Any concerns about T.J. Watt’s being unready for NFL action after he only began full practices with the team earlier this week lasted a little over 21 minutes of game action on Sunday. Back on the field against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 after returning to practice with a new, four-year contract extension, Watt broke free for a sack and forced fumble of a scrambling Josh Allen. Cameron Heyward recovered, Watt had his first sack of the 2021 season, and followed it up with his patented high kick celebration.
It was the first of a pair of sacks for Watt in Week 1, a 23-16 Pittsburgh win over the Buffalo Bills.
