With the Steelers versus Cowboys finally underway, after severe weather delayed the contest by over an hour, the stage was set and the game was tied 3-3, when on the last play of the first quarter, T.J. Watt made history.
As Dak Prescott dropped back, Watt teamed up with Nick Herbig for a crucial sack and forced fumble, giving Pittsburgh the momentum they needed. This moment, more than any, solidified Watt’s place among the all-time greats in NFL history. Watt had done the unthinkable—he became the second-fastest player to achieve 100 career sacks.

Throughout his dominant career in Pittsburgh, Watt has been snubbed for two Defensive Player of the Year awards, but no one can take this milestone away from him.
The Steelers will have to wait until after the game to celebrate, however, as Prescott continues to attack the Pittsburgh defense with help from TE Jake Ferguson and WR CeeDee Lamb.
From Steelers fans around the world—congratulations to T.J. Watt on becoming the second-fastest player to reach 100 career sacks, and here’s to many more!
