Cincinnati Bengals Fans Are Not Happy With T.J. Watt
Bengals fans don’t have a lot to be upset about right now, but they are upset with Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt.
After quarterback Joe Burrow threw an interception to Minkah Fitzpatrick, Watt was seen aggressively blocking Burrow as both players were locked onto each other.
It led to Watt taking down Burrow but no pushing or shoving occurred after the play.

Bengals fans weren’t happy about this on social media, as seen here with numerous tweets.
Castellanos will clearly be suspended for Watt’s handling of Burrow.#Bengals

TJ Watt then grabs and throws Burrow well after the play and the officials don't throw a flag, so Taylor is laying into officials after he didn't like the OPI call or the lack of protection for his QB after the pick.

T.J. Watt casually choking out Joe Burrow. No flag? Cool cool.

How about Joe Burrow and TJ Watt going head to head in a cage match at midfield?

Aside from that, it was a perfect first half for the Bengals. They scored 31 points on the Steelers and are up by 28.
If they hold on to win this game, it would be the first time since 2009 that Cincinnatti has swept Pittsburgh in a season. It would also be the first time in over two decades that the Bengals have beaten the Steelers three times in a row.
Burrow had 154 yards and one touchdown pass in the first half while running back Joe Mixon had 117 yards on the ground and one touchdown. Mixon also averaged nearly six yards per carry as well.
Cincinnati would get to 7-4 with this win as it looks to stay in contention for the AFC North.
The game is currently being televised by CBS.
