Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin broke the unfortunate but expected news on Tuesday when declaring that star pass rusher T.J. Watt will miss their upcoming playoff game. When they head to Buffalo to take on Josh Allen and the high-powered Bills offense, they’ll have to rely on others to get the job done as Watt recovers from his grade 2 MCL sprain. Since being drafted in 2017, the Steelers are 1-10 in games where Watt doesn’t dress. This is obviously a massive storyline to this weekend’s matchup, so it’s worth decompressing the situation and how the Steelers could potentially move forward.
