If the Pittsburgh Steelers wind up winning this game against the Baltimore Ravens and clinching their playoff spot, it could prove a costly win as all-world pass rusher T.J. Watt suffered a scary-looking injury.
In the third quarter, mere minutes after recording his 19th sack of the season, Watt went down with an injury on a passing play. While he was in coverage, a teammate fell on top of his leg, bending it awkwardly and sending him to the ground in no small amount of pain.
Watt had to be taken to the locker room with his injury and he appeared extremely frustrated. Shortly afterwards, he was ruled out of the rest of the game with a knee injury.
Fans immediately started praying for Watt to make a recovery.
