Over the past few years, T.J. Watt has established himself as one of the most dominant pass rushers in the entire league. But even if he has enjoyed a lot of success individually, he’s not happy with the lack of success as a team.
During a recent interview with The Athletic, T.J. Watt made it clear that he is frustrated that the Pittsburgh Steelers have not been able to win a playoff game in his entire career with the Steelers.
“For me, it is all about no playoff wins,” Watt said. “I am trying to do anything I can do. We have so much turnover year to year and so many new guys that it is trying to learn as much as possible coming from guys from other organizations that have done it and won championships since being in the league. I am going to do whatever is possible to win. It is about not taking any day for granted, and when it comes down to executing and working, putting everything aside and getting it done.”
Needless to say, this honest message from Watt led to a lot of reactions on social media.
He got so unlucky he didn’t get to experience the peak AB, Big Ben, Bell era. Add him to those rosters and they might’ve gotten a SB. https://t.co/eROTC6o65v

Russell Wilson is not helping that case this year

I’m being told that doesn’t matter as long as the coach doesn’t have a losing season.

And yet he got big mad and cried about DPOY, but sure "all about playoffs"

Get used to it
Russell Wilson is your QB and Mike Tomlin just got an extension

We’ll have to see whether or not Watt and the Steelers can accomplish that goal this year.
