Steelers' TJ Watt Accomplishes Historic Feat Seen Only Once in NFL History
Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt made some NFL history during the team's Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt has achieved an historic milestone in the NFL by recording his 10th interception of the season against the Atlanta Falcons. This accomplishment makes him just the second player in NFL history to achieve both 100 sacks and 10 interceptions in their career, the only other player being Julius Peppers.
Sacks became an official individual statistic in 1982, which adds to the significance of Watt's achievement. At 31 years old, Watt is an important part of the Steelers' roster and shows no signs of slowing down. Over the span of 135 career games with the Steelers, he has posted a remarkable 10 interceptions, 117 sacks, and 521 tackles.
The eight-time Pro Bowler has had an excellent career, and it remains to be seen how Watt will build on his historic 2026 season.
