When a caliber of player like Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt begins a regular season game, one would assume that there is not much he hasn’t already accomplished.
This was the case until he accumulated his 97.5 career sack on what he described as his first-ever walk-off sack to conclude the game on Sunday. He was understandably full of excitement to win the football game, in this fashion, in Atlanta, as Watt jokingly referenced the penalties that took away 2 previous strip-sacks in the game.

Watt will look to continue his dominance and perhaps hit his 100th milestone sack next Sunday in Denver. The Denver Broncos lost this past Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks with a final score of 20-26, giving up 2 sacks and 3 turnovers.
