The 2022 NFL season finally started with a thrilling game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Black and Yellow squad was able to defeat their rivals, but unfortunately they might lose T.J. Watt, one of their best weapons, thanks to a season-ending injury.

The AFC North lived its first Divisional match between the Steelers and the Bengals. The team from Cincinnati was favorite, but the visitors managed to win it in overtime with a final score of 23-20 against the Super Bowl LVI runner-ups.

But despite that huge win, Mike Tomlin’s team might lose one of the best defensive players nowadays. T.J. Watt has proved his value with the Steelers, so a season-ending injury could be very difficult for his squad and their dreams this campaign.
