Late in the first half, Pittsburgh Steelers’ star outside linebacker T.J. Watt appeared to make quite a splash play for the Steelers’ defense, something he’s done time and time again.
On a first and 10 from the 17-yard line, Watt appeared to time the snap perfectly, beat Atlanta right tackle Kaleb McGary around the edge, and strip-sacked Falcons’ quarterback Kirk Cousins, recovering the fumble in the process in what appeared to be a huge late first-half play.
The only problem?
The official called Watt offsides, negating the strip-sack and turnover.
One play later, Cousins found a wide open Kyle Pitts on a scramble drill for a 12-yard touchdown and a 10-6 Atlanta lead.
