Watch: T.J. Watt becomes Pittsburgh Steelers all-time sacks leader

By Nicholas Nathanson  |  Last updated 9/18/23

J.J. Watt is not the only Watt to make a name for himself in the NFL.

His younger brother, 28-year-old Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt recorded 22.5 sacks in 2021, tied with Michael Strahan (2001) for most sacks in an NFL single season. 

Tonight, Watt was back at it. He again hit a historical mark.

With one minute to go in the first half on "Monday Night Football", T.J. Watt sacked Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, marking his 81.5th career sack and eclipsing the previous franchise record held by James Harrison (80.5).

Watt, at just 28 years old, is already a five-time pro bowler and was named the 2021 AP Defensive Player of the Year 

Watt, the undisputed leader of the Pittsburgh defense, is under contract with the team until the end of 2024.
