JJ Watt made a joke after TJ Watt joined the Historic Club with 100 career sacks

JJ Watt made a joke after TJ Watt joined the Historic Club with 100 career sacks

Pittsburgh Steelers star TJ Watt became just the 44th player in NFL history to record 100 career sacks on Sunday night. With just 109 games, he was the second fastest to reach this milestone, surpassed only by the legendary Reggie White, who did it in 96 games.

After Watt's milestone sack (a strip sack of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott), his brother and 100-sack club member JJ Watt took to social media to congratulate him while cracking a perfectly timed joke.

“Welcome to the 100 Sack Club…we’ve been waiting. The new guy buys everyone else a car. I don’t make the rules, it’s just the way it is,” JJ joked on X while congratulating his younger brother.

This is certainly a way to celebrate your sibling's historic achievement.

JJ retired after the 2022 season and needed 120 games to record his 100th sack in the NFL. He finished his illustrious career with 114.5 sacks, a number TJ looks set to surpass.

During his playing days, JJ was one of the most feared, if not the most feared, pass rushers in the league. That title can now be attributed to his younger brother, who recorded his fourth sack of the season and the 100th of his career in Sunday night's game.
