T.J. Watt fined by NFL for unnecessary roughness penalty vs. Seahawks
T.J. Watt was a disruptive force last week against the Seahawks. He posted two sacks, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble that essentially won the game for the Steelers.
Watt went a little overboard at one point when he took a few swings at Alex Collins, attempting to force another turnover. He was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play.
