It was a scary sight, one not many people who support the Pittsburgh Steelers want to revisit all that much.
Late in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 eventual overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, star pass rusher T.J. Watt was injured on a sack attempt against Joe Burrow and was caught on camera saying that he tore his pectoral muscle.
Of course, he didn’t fully tear it and is nearing a return nine weeks later. Still, without Watt in the lineup the Steelers defense has suffered greatly from a pass rush production and turnover perspective.
