Kyle Brandt: T.J. Watt is already the Defensive Player of the Year

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 18-10 to begin their season, and they can boast that they are the only AFC North team to win in Week 1.

The Steelers’ defense only allowed one touchdown, and even that score shouldn’t have happened after a strip sack from T.J. Watt was overturned because he was ruled to be offsides. However, if you look at the replay, Watt just timed the snap perfectly.

Regardless, Watt got his revenge by ending the game with a sack on the contest’s final play, sealing the win for the Steelers.
