Steelers vs Bills: T.J. Watt earns his massive extension with this strip sack

As the Pittsburgh Steelers were taking on the Buffalo Bills in their season-opening matchup, all eyes would be on outside linebacker T.J. Watt. As an edge rusher, his contributions on the Steelers over the past four seasons have been surreal.

So far in his young career, Watt has totaled 168 tackles, 49.5 sacks, four interceptions, and 17 forced fumbles. Just days before his big Week 1 matchup against the Bills, the Steelers finally came to terms with Watt on a massive contract extension.

For the next four years, Watt will be a Steeler and paid very well to rightfully be a part of their long-term plans. Especially when he’s able to make the kind of plays that continue making him into a force to reckon with. Against the Bills, Watt has a beautiful strip sack on quarterback Josh Allen to help do his part for the Steelers to start the season off with a win.

Steelers T.J. Watt earns every penny of his contract with flawless strip sack

Take a look at the play below:

Watt is already shaping up to be one of those once-in-a-generation defensive players that you can undoubtedly build a team around. The kind of player that does big things on the field and off it as Watt continues to be a great presence in the Steelers’ locker room.

With epic plays like this to kick off the new season, it’s no wonder that the Steelers wanted to get his contract extension done to focus on the task at hand. With all that out of the way, now it’s time for Watt to continue to do what he does best, and hopefully, that means leaving Week 1 victorious with his teammates.
