Steelers star TJ Watt reaches the 100 sack milestone, becoming the second fastest player to achieve the feat

This success came at a crucial moment when Watt, with the help of his teammate Nick Herbig, took down Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Although they shared the sack, the play ended with Watt dislodging Prescott's helmet and causing a fumble, which Herbig recovered, shifting the momentum in the Steelers' favor.
This game-changing sack marked Watts' 100th in just 109 career games and made him the second fastest player in NFL history to accomplish the feat. His rapid rise to the top of the sack leaderboard puts him ahead of Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware, who took 113 games to reach the same milestone. Only Reggie White, a Hall of Famer, did it faster and reached 100 bags in just 96 games. Watt's talent for terrorizing quarterbacks was on full display this season. The linebacker has recorded a sack in every game so far, including five straight games since last season's finale.

Watt's performance on Sunday was more than just a stat-filling moment. It was a testament to his Hall of Fame career, as the 29-year-old is clearly in the prime of his career. His six Pro Bowl selections and 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award further underline his elite status. Furthermore, his accomplishment is all the more significant because it places him and his brother JJ Watt in a unique place in NFL history. They are the only siblings to record 100 sacks each, cementing the Watt family legacy in the league.
Although TJ still trails JJ, who finished his career with 114.5 sacks (24th on the all-time list), it seems plausible that he could catch up to his brother by the end of this season. TJ's record of 22.5 sacks in a season in 2021, the highest ever, shows his relentless pursuit of greatness. For Watt, this latest milestone is just another chapter in a career full of extraordinary achievements, and it is likely that more records will fall as the season progresses.
