PITTSBURGH — Everyone heard the comments from New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, asking for 1-on-1 reps against Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt. And everyone was pretty sure what was going to happen.



And then it did. Watt had two sacks, the second of which a drive-killing strip sack of Daniel Jones as the Steelers beat the Giants, 26-18 on Monday.

Watt said afterward that he was aware of the comments made by Eluemunor, but took the high road after the victory, saying they didn’t provide any additional motivation that contribution to his performance.

Problem is Steelers face 6 top 10 rush defenses after the break. Najee has been a beast of late but they will need a stout pass game to win the division. That is why coach T moved to start dangeRuss Wilson. Teams no longer can put 8 in the box to stop Najee. Wide receiver Austin emerged as a solid threat as he showed up big last week. They need to get him some more targets. And rookie WR Wilson needs to stop getting hurt every time he runs a pattern in practice.

Mike Tyson said it best. “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.

IDK but if I was his QB, I’d be telling him to STFU. No QB wants an angry TJ rushing them.

TJ is a beast. NFL should be ashamed of themselves for not naming him DPOY. Wonder how this Giants right tackle’s foot tasted late Monday night?

Minkah got robbed twice this season on blocked kicks when refs knowingly threw bogus flags. His career stats won’t reflect the refs horribly grievous errors and both of those refs will never face any accountabilty.
