How much can a non-quarterback be worth? It might be dangerous to try to answer that question right now…but then again, maybe these are the moments that provide that answer. The Pittsburgh Steelers just got their money’s worth from fifth-year outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who dominated the overtime slate to help Pittsburgh win tonight.
After recording a tackle for loss on the first play of the Seattle Seahawks’ opening drive of the extra period, he notched a sack on 3rd and 4 to make sure that they don’t make it a four-down situation. After the offense failed to move the ball and gave it back to Seattle, he did one better, getting a strip sack, recovered by Devin Bush, which set up the game-winning field goal by Chris Boswell two plays later.
