T.J. Watt is going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame someday, and probably five years after his final NFL game. That’s not an argument anymore.
No defensive player in the NFL means more to his team. When the Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in a difficult spot Monday night against the New York Giants, nearing the end of an ugly performance, Watt made the play to get them a win. It’s hard to depend on an edge rusher to make a game-winning play time and time again, but Watt has done it his whole career.
Watt had a strip sack of Daniel Jones with 2:59 left and the Giants deep in Steelers territory, needing a touchdown and 2-point conversion to tie the game.
