T.J. Watt collected a record-tying sack on Sunday, with the Pittsburgh Steelers star matching the NFL single-season record with 22.5. That is an achievement worth celebrating, but Watt’s brother was more interested in what happened after.
Watt recorded the record-tying sack against Baltimore’s Tyler Huntley in Pittsburgh’s overtime win on Sunday. A few plays after getting the sack, Watt was chasing Huntley again, but this time he took an inadvertent shot to the groin.
This incident didn’t escape Watt’s older brother J.J., who made a pretty hilarious observation about the sequence.
Maybe the football gods felt T.J. needed a bit of humbling after tying that record. J.J. seems to subscribe to that theory.
J.J. has been following his younger brother’s chase of the sack record with great interest and, in some cases, some pretty good commentary. He’s definitely proud of T.J. — and probably a little bit amused, too.
