🏈 J.J. Watt posted a photo on Instagram of himself with his two brothers T.J. and Derek this past weekend in Chicago.

Derek and his family were at the Steelers-Bears game on Sunday to cheer on T.J., while J.J. was in the booth calling the game for CBS. The Watts dad and mom were also at the game.

“Special Memories. Extremely Grateful,” J.J. wrote.

With his strip sack on Caleb Williams in the second quarter, T.J. Watt surpassed his brother J.J. Watt on the NFL all-time sack leaderboard with 115.0 career sacks, which is 26th-most.

“If he’s going to pass my record, that’s one hell of a way to do it with a strip sack causing a touchdown. Good for you T.J.,” J.J. said during the broadcast.

🏈 Colin Cowherd of FS1 thinks thinks the Steelers’ streak of 21 non-losing seasons doesn’t mean much for Mike Tomlin

“He hasn’t won a playoff game in eight years. He would be fired if he was the Eagles coach or the Cowboys coach…,” Cowherd said.
