T.J. Watt

A regular-season head-to-head against the AFC’s No. 1-ranked offense seemed like the perfect way to Pittsburgh to gauge their postseason readiness, and just as one might expect, T.J. Watt was at his apex. Around the corner, and headed for the Colts’ quarterback within the blink of one’s eye, the All-Pro defensive talent took hold of the spotlight with an exhilarating strip sack, a crucial play that helped invigorate the Steelers’ offensive attack. Watt’s excellence helped drive a statement-sending 27-20 win on Nov. 2, 2025, as Pittsburgh became one of few teams to survive Indianapolis’ offensive fireworks. A star throughout, Watt compounded the aforementioned sack and forced fumble with three tackles, one QB hit, and two pressures.
