T.J. Watt's pick-6 breaks open Steelers' win over Atlanta
- On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers began the Mike McCarthy era with a 20-13 win over Atlanta as outside linebacker T.J. Watt returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown to break open the tight contest.
- Pittsburgh hoped for high-powered offense under McCarthy, but the game recalled Mike Tomlin's nearly two-decade tenure; the defense thrived despite cornerback Joey Porter Jr. being inactive.
- Cooper Rush filled in for injured Tua Tagovailoa and threw two interceptions the Steelers converted into touchdowns, while running back Bijan Robinson accounted for 173 of the Falcons' 238 total yards.
- Defensive tackle De'Shawn Hand exited with a knee injury in the first half and did not return, while A.J. Terrell was hurt breaking up a pass but returned to play.
- Next Sunday, the Falcons host NFC South rival Carolina while the Steelers travel to New England for their next matchup.
