Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon.
WINNERS
EDGE T.J. Watt
Watt did all he could to make plays and compensate for another slow Steelers’ start. His first half was as strong as you could hope for, recording two sacks and a forced fumble that Pittsburgh recovered. Facing a quality right tackle in Lane Johnson, Watt beat him and a chip for a late-second quarter sack.
His ability to produce impact plays in bunches is remarkable and isn’t talked about enough. Sunday was another example. Hopefully, his ankle/leg injury isn’t considered too serious.
