Beloved in Pittsburgh like Fred Rogers, T.J. Watt won’t be invited to any of Kirk Cousins’ potlucks this year. Speaking to reporters Thursday and recapping a tough Week 1 against Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front, Cousins shared a friendly message from Watt that sounded a lot better than it felt.
“At one point, T.J. Watt said, ‘Hello,’ and he said it in a way like he’s a neighbor down the street,” Cousins said via Falcons beat writer Terrin Waack. “Yeah, we’re not neighbors.”
Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins did not thank the first Steelers defensive player who hit him, like he joked during week before game.
