Steelers’ TJ Watt Admits He Broke A League Rule At Halftime Of Ravens’ Game In Pursuit Of Sack Record

At halftime of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers’ star All-Pro pass rusher TJ Watt was like many fans in the moment: checking his cell phone to see if he passed New York Giants’ Hall of Famer Michael Strahan’s single-season sacks record of 22.5.

Appearing on The Dan Patrick Show Wednesday, Watt let slip that he did, in fact, check his cell phone at halftime of the Steelers-Ravens game that was knotted at 3-3 in an attempt to see where he stood. That, according to league rules, is a violation that could lead to a fine.
