T.J. Watt is in the record books. Watt has now tied James Harrison’s record for career sacks as a Pittsburgh Steeler. With his takedown of San Francisco 49ers’ QB Brock Purdy, Watt now has 80.5 for his career, equaling Harrison’s mark.
The sack occurred late in the third quarter. And Watt didn’t just take Purdy down. He took the ball away, recovered by the Steelers, as they try to battle back being down 27-7.
It was Watt’s third sack of the day and his second forced fumble. Here’s a look at the play.
