The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off their season with an 18-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, driven by a standout performance from T.J. Watt. The outside linebacker showcased his defensive prowess, wrapping up the game by pressuring quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Despite offensive struggles, the Steelers relied on Watt's consistent excellence, which has been a hallmark of the team since he joined the league. The importance of defense remains central to Pittsburgh's identity as they navigate an offense still finding its rhythm.
