Teryl Austin: T.J. Watt A ‘Special Type Of Player’ To Find Tape Nuggets And Put Them Into Action

Coming out of the 18-10 Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons, much of the focus for the Pittsburgh Steelers was on the play of star outside linebacker T.J. Watt, which includes some of the plays that didn’t count for one reason or another due to penalties.

One of those plays was a perfectly-timed jump at the snap that allowed him to turn the corner and sack Falcons’ quarterback Kirk Cousins in the red zone, forcing a fumble and recovering it in the process. The play should have sent the Steelers into halftime with a 6-3 lead on the road.
