T.J. Watt Logs Two Sacks and Pick-Six in Steelers Opener

T.J. Watt benefited from a new defensive scheme and increased rotation under coordinator Patrick Graham, playing a team-low 38 defensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the Falcons. Despite the reduced workload, the 32-year-old four-time All-Pro remained a dominant force, recording two sacks and intercepting Cooper Rush to return it 35 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown. The strategic snap management kept the veteran star fresh while yielding maximum statistical impact for Pittsburgh.
