Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt was only credited with 1 sack of Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins on Sunday. He also had 3 quarterback hits, 2 tackles for a loss and a fumble recovery. Watt was consistently wrecking shop in the Falcons’ backfield and likely should have had more stats.
One of the reasons Watt didn’t have more stats was due to an offsides call in the final minute of the first half. Watt beat Falcons RT Kaleb McGary off the snap, sacked Cousins and forced a fumble. Unfortunately, the referee threw a flag for offsides. On the very next play, Cousins found TE Kyle Pitts for a 12-yard touchdown.
