<p><strong>TJ Watt</strong> and the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> have a 3-2 record and lead the AFC North. Though their offense has been struggling, the defense is one of the best in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> taking over crucial divisional games against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a></strong>.</p>



<p>As it’s been a tradition, the numbers of Watt are just remarkable with eight sacks and two forced fumbles in only five games. If he keeps that pace, a new record in the league might be coming.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230617#BUS#12445"></div>


<p>However, in a shocking turn of events, the star linebacker has to deal with an injury before the bye week for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a></strong>. The big question is if this problem for <strong>TJ Watt</strong> might derail the team’s <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong> hopes. </p>



<h2>TJ Watt is injured with the Pittsburgh Steelers</h2>



<p>According to a report from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, <strong>TJ Watt</strong> tore multiple ligaments in one of his fingers and dislocated it during the victory against the Ravens.</p>


        

        


<p>However, the linebacker popped it back in and, believe it or not, he returned to the game with <strong>Baltimore</strong> and secured the win. Furthermore, Watt won’t miss any time.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230621#BUS#14883"></div>


<p>The information points out that <strong>TJ Watt</strong> might need surgery after the season, but, right now, the star’s priority is to lead Pittsburgh in another championship run. Their next rivals are the <strong>Rams</strong>, Jaguars, Titans and <strong>Packers</strong>. </p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> </a>can always count on <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/steelers-hc-mike-tomlin-believes-there-are-aliens-playing-for-other-nfl-teams-20221005-0046.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Tomlin’</a></strong>s expertise. He’s one of the<strong> finest tacticians in the </strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>National Football League</strong>,</a> especially when he’s an underdog.</p>



<p>Tomlin’s cover letter has always been <strong>his stout defense</strong>. The Steelers’ offense has struggled for the past four or five years, yet they continue to avoid having losing seasons.</p>



<p>And according to <strong>star pass rusher <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/mike-tomlin-explains-why-tj-watt-is-the-defensive-player-of-the-year-20201230-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TJ Watt,</a></strong> the best could be yet to come for the Steelers defense, as he believes they have everything going for them to be the most dominant unit in the league.</p>



<h2>TJ Watt Raves About The Steelers Defense</h2>



<p>“<em>I think it’s still too early to have a true sense of ‘This is the year,’ because they <strong>always say you don’t want to be the guy who’s just crushing it with no pads on — you don’t really know the personality of everybody yet,”</strong></em> Watt said on Ben Roethlisberger’s podcast. </p>



<p><strong><em>“So it’s too early for that, but I’m very encouraged with the direction we’re going, especially on the defensive side of the ball, which is what I can speak for,”</em></strong> Watt continued. <em>“Guys are flying around, having a lot of fun, communicating and making a lot of those splash plays, and that’s all you can really ask for this time of year.”</em></p>



<p>At the end of the day, it may all go down to how much <strong>Kenny Pickett</strong> has improved from his rookie season, but at least he can always trust his defense to put him in a position to win.</p>

TJ Watt gets real on the Steelers' defense - Bolavip US

<p><strong>T.J. Watt </strong>was drafted in 2017 by the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> and his impact was immediate in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong>. After the retirement of quarterback <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a></strong>, Watt undoubtedly became the new face of the franchise.</p>



<p>His numbers have been spectacular in just six years. 77 sacks, 23 forced fumbles, 6 interceptions and 333 tackles. Furthermore, <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2021.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230216#CMS#0042"></div>


<p>Now, prior to the 2023 season with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong>, T.J. Watt is ready to be the leader of a much improved defense alongside names such as <strong>Minkah Fitzpatrick</strong>, Patrick Peterson, <strong>Cameron Heyward</strong>, Cole Holcomb and Larry Ogunjobi. However, a pool accident almost derailed those plans. </p>



<h2>Pittsburgh Steelers: T.J. Watt avoids injury after pool accident</h2>



<p><strong>T.J. Watt</strong> confirmed on social media he was involved in an accident while cleaning the pool at his house. Though the outside linebacker joked about it, considering nothing severe happened, the truth is an injury could have easily occurred putting in jeopardy his status for the <strong>2023 NFL season</strong>. </p>


        

        


<p>“Warning. The activity in this video may be dangerous. <strong><em>Don’t try at home (I’m completely ok)</em></strong>“, was the message by <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> with an emoji laughing at the situation.</p>



<p>In the video, <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> appears cleaning the pool when, suddenly, he slips and falls to the water. The star player was lucky to avoid hitting the step where he was standing as that could have definitely produced an injury.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230506#CMS#0030"></div>


<p>After falling into the water, <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> immediately throws his cell phone out of the pool to avoid it might get wet. The linebacker reported there’s no injury, but it might have been a scary moment. </p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/pittsburgh-steelers-t93952" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pittsburgh Steelers </strong></a>currently own one of the best defenses in the<strong> National Football League.</strong> As a matter of fact, that’s the main reason why they won eleven straight games to start the season.</p>
<p>And, even though their work as a unit has been outstandingif someone deserves more credit than the rest of the pack, that’s definitely<strong> TJ Watt</strong>, who has already proved to be the best of the Watt family, which is a lot to say.</p>
<p>Watt is currently one of the frontrunners to earn the <strong>Defensive Player of the Year</strong> award honors, and it seems like the Steelers will only get as far as their defense can lead them in the postseason.<span></span></p>

<h2>Mike Tomlin Says TJ Watt Is Not From This Planet</h2>
<p>That’s why when Pittsburgh Steelers head coach <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> was asked about the importance and impact of TJ Watt, he had no choice but to take his hat off, <strong>jokingly saying that he’s not from this world:</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p> — Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers)    <a href="https://twitter.com/steelers/status/1343972778756730880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 29, 2020</a>   </p></blockquote></div>
<p>      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </p></div>
<p></p></div>
<p><em>“<strong>T.J. is visiting from another planet,</strong> to be quite honest with you. He has freakishly unique talent coupled with freakishly unique work habits and mindset and it produces what you guys witness every week which, in my opinion, is defensive player of the year quality,” </em>Tomlin said, via the Steelers’ official account.</p>
<p>Thus far, Watt has piled up an <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL-</a>best <strong>15 sacks </strong>while also leading the league with 23 tackles for a loss and 41 quarterback hits. Also, he’s registered at least one sack in all but 4 games this season.</p>
<p>Anchored by TJ Watt and the rest of their defense, the PittsburghSteelers clinched the AFC North over the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cleveland-browns-t98379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/baltimore-ravens-t99154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a><strong>and sit on a 12-3 record</strong>. And even though their offense continues to raise some doubts, there’s no question that this aggressive defensive identity can lead them through the fire.</p>
