Prior to the start of Sunday night’s showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys, head coach Mike Tomlin sat down with NBC analyst Tony Dungy to talk a little ball before the start of the game.
As Dungy and Tomlin broke down some film of the last time the Steelers and Cowboys squared off, Dungy asked Tomlin about edge defender T.J. Watt. As he did, they threw up a video of Watt setting up to rush the passer and the Cowboys had three defenders set to block in.
Tomlin offered up the perfect response when he said “Such is life” for Watt.
No pass rusher in the NFL faces more heat than Watt. He is chipped more than any other player in the NFL by nearly double and that doesn’t even include when he’s just double and triple-teamed. Not to mention all the holds Watt deals with that are never called by the officials.
