Though his game ended on a bitter note, sustaining a knee injury that will keep him out of at least Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills, T.J. Watt took home one award for his final regular-season performance. Watt was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 18, posting two sacks in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Before his injury, Watt was having another great performance, and he finished the day with eight tackles (three for a loss), two QB hits, and two sacks.
