Steelers star T.J. Watt stuns Cooper Rush, joins Julius Peppers with historic pick 6 in matchup vs. Falcons

J. Watt made a stunning defensive play on Sunday afternoon, intercepting a pass right in front of Atlanta passer Cooper Rush and running it back for a touchdown.

The milestone pick-six elevated Watt alongside Julius Peppers in the record books during the season-opening clash between the Steelers and Falcons.

Atlanta turned to Rush under center for Week 1 after health issues sidelined both Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix. Despite managing back spasms heading into the matchup, the veteran backup got the nod for the road contest in Pittsburgh.
