The NFL is going to make Steelers’ T.J. Watt pay for his latest comments
You know you're dominant at a position when officiating starts letting opposing players get away with obvious penalties. Think of Shaq in the NBA or Gronk in the NFL.

You know you're dominant at a position when officiating starts letting opposing players get away with obvious penalties.
Think of Shaq in the NBA or Gronk in the NFL. Those two were such physical forces that refs would hardly ever call fouls or pass interference on their respective behalf.
Well, the NFL has adopted a similar philosophy with Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowler T.J. Watt and holding penalties, to the point where the All-Pro has had enough of it:
Out To Get Him
"I don't know," said Watt when asked why the holding wasn't called on the play tat caused him to be injured. "The NFL has something going against me, so I don't wanna talk any more negatively towards them. I don't know what I did, but I'll leave it at that."
Well, it's a good thing Watt got that huge contract a couple of years ago because he's likely going to have a lighter bank account when the league office gets around to hearing what he had to say about officiating crews and their blindspot against him.
And while he's right, that all but comes with the territory. If I'm being honest, you could probably call holding on every rep that doesn't result in a T.J. Watt sack. That;s how dominant he's become.
But the league wont do that.
The good thing is, despite all the injury news including the season-shifting update on Kenny Pickett, Watt came away okay and should be good to go for Thursday.
