T.J. Watt tied the NFL single-season sack record in 2021, showcasing his elite pass-rushing ability. His performance is notable in the context of Strahan's legacy, as Strahan holds the record for the most sacks in a single season with 22.5, set in 2001.

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced a disappointing defeat against the Baltimore Ravens, losing 28-14 in a wild-card matchup that set a record for the most-watched exclusively streamed playoff game. Despite the loss, the Steelers contributed to the overall high viewership numbers for the NFL, as all six wild-card games attracted over 20 million viewers, reflecting the league's strong fan engagement even in lopsided contests.

Russell Wilson could be a key target for the Giants as they look to address their quarterback situation. After a season with the Steelers that saw him help lead the team to the playoffs, Wilson's performance was marred by a sputtering offense in the final month. At 36 years old, he could provide short-term stability for the Giants while also serving as a mentor for a younger quarterback they may draft.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are committed to head coach Mike Tomlin for the upcoming season after a Wild Card exit. Tomlin's recent three-year, $50 million extension solidifies his position, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in American sports. With a no-trade clause in his contract, the Steelers are unlikely to pursue any changes, emphasizing their investment in his leadership as they seek answers for the future.

Mike Tomlin is set to remain as the head coach of the Steelers, having recently signed a three-year, $50 million extension that places him among the highest-paid coaches in American sports. His no-trade clause and the substantial financial commitment from the franchise indicate that the Steelers have no intention of moving on from him, despite speculation regarding his future.
