Toward the end of the 2024 season, T.J. Watt wasn’t at his best. He was held without a sack over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final three regular-season games. Overall, the Steelers’ defense struggled, and that resulted in the team totally collapsing, losing in the first round of the playoffs again. Despite his quiet end to last year, Watt received a massive contract extension this offseason, and he’s determined to not let that cold streak drag on into 2025.
“If I can play, I’m gonna play,” Watt said Friday to Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller of Movin’ the Chains on SiriusXM NFL Radio when asked if he was hurt at the end of last season.
