‘Freddy Krueger In Football Cleats:’ Brian Baldinger Impressed With T.J. Watt In Season Opener

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense looked pretty bad on Sunday in the team’s 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but at least one guy showed up. OLB T.J. Watt had three sacks and two forced fumbles in the loss, recovering one of the fumbles and another that he probably should have recovered if not for a remarkable butt recovery by 49ers’ QB Brock Purdy. NFL Media analyst Brian Baldinger broke down Watt’s performance on Sunday, and had quite the comparison for the outside linebacker.

“Wasn’t a whole lot of highlights for the Steelers except for T.J. Watt,” Baldinger said.
