Of all the gaudy numbers one could use to describe T.J. Watt’s impact during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season opener, many of them were made possible, ironically, through his ability to perfectly time the snap count. Nearly second to none with his instincts, 2021’s Defensive Player of the Year uses one evasive step, leaving Atlanta’s right tackle in the rearview mirror before tracking down the star running back’s cutback attempt for a three-yard loss. In elite form during the 18-10 win over the Falcons on Sept. 6, 2024, Watt produced four tackles (two for a loss), three QB hits, one sack, and one fumble recovery in the 18-10 win.
