Bengals fans come after T.J. Watt calling him dirty for sack

There is plenty of bad blood between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams have been on the wrong end of some nasty hits which typically stirs up the fanbase. But sometimes nothing bad happens at all and it’s just about bitter fans venting after their team loses.

This is the case in the replies to his post by former NFL player Brian Baldnger that was intended to praise Steelers edge T.J. Watt. Instead the replies turned into a bunch of angry fans calling for Watt’s head for his gator roll sacks of Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow.

There was nothing dirty about this play but this has never stopped fans from complaining. The league protects its quarterbacks over all else so if the officials didn’t see fit to throw a flag, it’s a safe bet nothing was wrong with the sack.
