Losing star outside linebacker T.J. Watt for likely the Wild Card Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills is a big blow for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Watt has been one of the best defensive players in football year after year and has made a strong case for his second Defensive Player of the Year award this season after leading the NFL in sacks with 19.0. By leading the NFL in sacks this season, it marked the third time in his career that he led the NFL in sacks in a season, making league history.
Without him in the lineup, the Steelers are just 1-10, so it’s a tall task going into Buffalo on Sunday at 1 p.
