If you circle the moment that it was apparent the Pittsburgh Steelers were in massive trouble as they rounded into January and the playoffs, it would probably be in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. After two 13-play drives to start the second half, the Eagles got the ball back with 10:29 remaining and finished in victory formation after 21 plays. Eagles OT Lane Johnson had a tough matchup against T.J. Watt and handled it well, but that doesn’t mean it was easy.
“It was a battle, I mean T.J.’s out there just fuckin’ bringing hell on Earth,” Johnson said via Pardon My Take on YouTube.
