On Saturday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens face off for an AFC North rivalry battle to kick off both teams’ playoff journeys. And with that, Steelers star pass rusher TJ Watt had a message for the team, per Mike DeFabo on X.
“TJ Watt is a 4x All-Pro, 7x Pro Bowler and the 2021 DPOY,” DeFabo wrote. “But he’s 0-3 playoff games and wants to change that: ‘It’s my story. Since I’ve been here, I haven’t won a playoff game. I’ve been saying it this whole season. You guys know how important this is to me.’ ”
With the Steelers and Ravens being one of the biggest rivalries in NFL history, this game has even higher stakes for Watt.
In the 2024 regular season, the Steelers split their two-game series with the Ravens, with both teams earning a victory at their home stadium.
The Steelers won their Week 11 matchup 18-16 at home, while they lost 34-17 on the road in Week 16.
And although Watt is one of the league’s top defensive players in the NFL, his focus is on beating the Ravens once more, earning the first playoff victory of his career.
