Here is a special thank you to Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt and ILB Mark Robinson, who both contributed to momentum-changing plays early in the Week 15 contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles.
With five minutes remaining in the first quarter, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts attempted to scramble and keep the play alive. Watt, who was already leading the league with five forced fumbles, added another to his fantastic 2024 campaign. Hurts almost had a rushing lane available, but Watt immediately punched the ball out as the QB made it past the line of scrimmage.

With a little over four minutes left in the first quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers punted after failing to capitalize on Watt’s forced fumble. However, as the Eagles’ returner, rookie CB Cooper Dejean, received the football, Robinson bolted down the field and delivered a huge hit, knocking the ball loose in the process.
After a personal foul penalty stalled the Pittsburgh Steelers red zone aspirations, the team would call on Chris Boswell to put their first points of the day on the board. The Steelers currently trail the Eagles 10-3 as the second quarter begins.
