Watch: T.J. Watt finishes the Ravens

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

Just when it seemed as if the Steelers defense couldn’t come up with a big play, one of their rookies ends the game with the biggest play of the evening.

Outside linebacker T.J. Watt has had a heck of a freshman season in the NFL, piling up sacks and interceptions early in the year, but going quiet at times as of late. In a game where the Steelers were having difficulty getting to Ravens QB Joe Flacco, who had yet to be sacked on the evening, Watt came up with the hit that would end the game.

Watt easily beats his man and turns on the turbo jets as the Ravens quarterback attempts to escape to his left. But Watt appears to be much faster, and catches Flacco from behind, swatting the ball away, which bounces in the field and then out of bounds.

Since the spot of the fumble was in the field of play, the game clock restarts as soon as the officials place the ball… so Watt’s huge play below ended the game, as the Ravens weren’t prepared to snap it!
