The Steelers filed an appeal with the Elias Sports Bureau, the official statistician of the NFL, earlier this week in hopes of getting pass rusher T.J. Watt the sack record.
According to Pro Football Talk, however, Elias declined to change a call from Sunday's game against the Ravens, and agreed with the statisticians in Baltimore.
Watt's lone sack in the contest came in the second quarter, when he brought down Baltimore quarterback Tyler Huntley.
Watt, however, believes that a fumble by Huntley in the first quarter of Pittsburgh's eventual 16–13 victory should have been credited as a sack as well.
