Don’t let one game fool you. T.J. Watt is still an elite defensive player. He reminded everyone of that Sunday making one of the game’s few defensive plays in what’s become a wild shootout between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals.
Watt forced a fumble on Bengals QB Joe Burrow late in the first half, recovered by Preston Smith to complete the turnover.
Bengals using that trap protection against Watt. Guard pulling.
Bad idea vs #90. #Steelers https://t.co/WTR8Eyv1bs

The Bengals tried using their “trap protection” to block Watt, something we noted would be a dangerous game against someone of his caliber.
