T.J. Watt becomes the second fastest player to reach 100 career sacks

T.J Watt has made history in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. He became the second-fastest player to reach 100 career sacks.

With the Steelers versus Cowboys finally underway, after severe weather delayed the contest by over an hour, the stage was set and the game was tied 3-3, when on the last play of the first quarter, T.J. Watt made history.

As Dak Prescott dropped back, Watt teamed up with Nick Herbig for a crucial sack and forced fumble, giving Pittsburgh the momentum they needed. This moment, more than any, solidified Watt’s place among the all-time greats in NFL history.  Watt had done the unthinkable—he became the second-fastest player to achieve 100 career sacks.

Throughout his dominant career in Pittsburgh, Watt has been snubbed for two Defensive Player of the Year awards, but no one can take this milestone away from him.

The Steelers will have to wait until after the game to celebrate, however, as Prescott continues to attack the Pittsburgh defense with help from TE Jake Ferguson and WR CeeDee Lamb.

From Steelers fans around the world—congratulations to T.J. Watt on becoming the second-fastest player to reach 100 career sacks, and here’s to many more!

T.J. Watt on the verge of history this Sunday against the Chargers

T.J. Watt has a chance to become the second-fastest player to join the 100 sack club in Week 3.

Aside from the ultimate prize that all players strive for—the Super Bowl—there isn’t much that T.J. Watt hasn’t accomplished at this point in his career.  The former Defensive Player of the Year holds the record for being the league leader in sacks for three seasons, shares the record with Hall of Famer Michael Strahan for most sacks in a season with 22.5, and this Sunday against the Chargers, he has the chance to do something special.

You read that right! T.J. Watt is only 1.5 sacks away from being the second-fastest NFL player to reach the 100-sack club.

T.J. Watt’s presence on the field is something that teams can only help to contain but never truly stop.  This will be especially true as he takes on rookie right tackle Joe Alt in Week 3.

Will T.J. Watt achieve this feat against the Los Angeles Chargers? There is now an extra layer of intrigue as Steelers fans now can hope for their undefeated Steelers to improve to 3-0, while also rooting for T.J. to reach this historic achievement.
