Roethlisberger Calls Watt An ‘Alien,’ Says He Felt Bad For Burrow After Interception ‘Because I’ve Been There In Practice’

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell 37-30 to the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium yesterday, but the best play of the game might have been made by Pittsburgh’s defense, when outside linebacker T.J. Watt was able to pick off a Joe Burrow pass at the line of scrimmage while attempting to bat the pass and getting hit by the offensive lineman. On the latest episode of his Footbahlin’ podcast, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said that he felt bad for Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow because he’d had Watt make the same sort of play against him in practice.
