Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt had a season to remember in 2018, as he finished with a team-best 13.0 sacks. Defensive end Cameron Heyward was next best on the team with 8.0 sacks, so it’s clear Watt was on a different level this season. During a recent interview with Steelers reporter Missi Matthews, Watt seemed […]

Sunday night’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers featured a showdown between the Watt family. The matchup left Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt at odds with who to root for. Watt’s brothers, Derek and TJ, were on opposite sides of the field all night. This left him contemplating which brother to […]

T.J Watt is all about the Pittsburgh Steelers having success, and that is the most important thing for him, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to beat his brother J.J in total sacks this year. T.J. is currently sitting with eight sacks, while J.J has nine, and he admits beating him in the sack […]

It’s not a good idea to make a large human being like Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt angry, but that’s what the NFL managed to do when the league fined the pass rusher’s brother, T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a sizeable sum of money for apparently just doing his job. $20,000 for this?!?!?! […]

Jesse James, Ramon Foster, and T.J. Watt returned to practice with the team this week after a win against the Titans in week 3 of the preseason. James sustained a back injury while bringing down a catch in the first half their Saturday matchup. Foster performed individual drills to test the hyperextended knee that has […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers were likely pleased with what they got from first-round pick T.J. Watt last year. The linebacker led all rookies with seven sacks and added 52 tackles, seven passes defended, and an interception. But with how he’s gone about this offseason, Watt is hardly satisfied with his performance. He would rather forget all […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will get their shot at revenge when they square off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Divisional Game this Sunday.

In preseason predictions and power-rankings, the New England Patriots were constantly placed at the top, and rightfully so. They are, after all, the defending Super Bowl champions, and they added impact players such as WR Brandin Cooks, CB Stephon Gilmore, TE Dwayne Allen, and RB Mike Gillislee. One team that many thought would be able […]

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin wants the team’s fans to practice patience, as the clamor to see more of the 15-year veteran linebacker James Harrison on the field grows. This comes after Tomlin opted to play Anthony Chickillo as T.J. Watt’s replacement in Week 1’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns when Watt exited the […]

While the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t exactly look like the 8.5-point spread favorites in Sunday’s too-close-for-comfort 21-18 road win over the Cleveland Browns, that shouldn’t diminish in any form the fantastic NFL debut of Pittsburgh’s rookie linebacker, T.J. Watt, the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Against the Browns, Watt, younger brother of Houston […]

The AFC North is traditionally up for grabs. In the last five years, three of the four teams in the North have been crowned as division champions. It’s been well represented in the Wild Card as well.

The Steelers have named rookie T.J. […]

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker and gym rat James Harrison is all good with him relinquishing his starter role to rookie T.J. Watt in the coming NFL season. It was reported earlier that the Steelers are aiming to start Watt right out of the gates, which means Harrison will now be relegated a notch lower in […]

During the franchise’s dynasty of the 1970s, the household names in Pittsburgh revolved around the Steelers’ defense. From their bruising linebackers, headlined by Jack Lambert and Jack Ham, to their towering defensive line, those teams boasted a menacing front seven. Then, the new era came of Polamalu, Porter, Farrior, Woodley, Aaron Smith, and Ike Taylor, […]
