T.J. Watt On Defense Vs. 49ers: ‘You Go Into A Game Feeling Like You Have A Great Game Plan And You Get Punched In The Mouth’

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense got walked all over on Sunday, with the San Francisco 49ers’ offense scoring early and often in their 30-7 win on Sunday. They put up 10 quick points in the first quarter and never looked back, with RB Christian McCaffrey running for 152 yards and QB Brock Purdy doing seemingly whatever he wanted, finding WR Brandon Aiyuk eight times for 129 yards. Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt, one of the only players on the field who bothered to show up, said the Steelers need to watch the film to figure out why San Francisco was able to have their way with the Pittsburgh defense.
