T.J. Watt records two sacks, one interception in NFL debut with Steelers

Oh look, another Watt making an impact in the NFL.

With older brothers J.J. and Derek already playing on Sundays, former Wisconsin Badgers outside linebacker T.J. Watt debuted on Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers with two sacks, seven tackles, and an interception in a 21–18 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Last week, the Steelers announced that Watt would start over veteran James Harrison. It looks like the move has paid off for Pittsburgh.

Working against fellow former Badger and Canton-bound Browns left tackle Joe Thomas, Watt worked up field and spun toward rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer.
