Ever the disruptive force in all phases of the game, Steelers superstar edge defender T.J. Watt proved that not only can he make massive plays, he can pick his spots and do so at the most critical junctures of a game. With the Steelers hanging onto an eight-point advantage late in the fourth quarter, Watt came in flying off the edge, flew past the opposing right tackle like he wasn't even there, and then got to the quarterback. But, he wasn't content with just a third down sack. Watt stripped the ball free from the opposing signal caller and then recovered the loose ball himself, forcing a critical turnover for the Pittsburgh defense. Watt finished this one with seven total tackles, two tackles for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, as the Steelers beat the Giants, 26-18, on Oct. 28, 2024.
