T.J. Watt got fined for roughing the passer for simply grazing the quarterback.
Now I’ve seen it all.
Watt has been fined $20K for his “hit” on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, according to this tweet from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
NFL fined its co-sack leader, TJ Watt, $20,054 for “forcibly hitting in the knee area or below” Falcons’ QB Matt Ryan, per source. The league office instructed the Steelers to deduct the money from Watt’s paycheck if he does not appeal.
