T.J. Watt’s Historic Opening Night | Atlanta Falcons News

T.J. Watt delivered a historic performance in the Steelers’ season opener, recording four tackles, two sacks, and a game-changing interception return for a touchdown—making him the first player ever to achieve two sacks and a pick-six in a season opener. He also joined Julius Peppers as the only two players since 1982 to reach 100 sacks and 10 interceptions, while surpassing his brother J.J.’s sack total and continuing to climb toward NFL history. With Pittsburgh’s offense struggling, Watt’s defensive dominance was the difference-maker in a hard-fought win. Now 1-0, the Steelers head to New England next, where Watt’s relentless play will be crucial as they aim for another victory.
