J.J. Watt unsurprisingly had a biased reaction to T.J. Watt’s questionable roughing the passer penalty

With J.J. Watt officially retired from the NFL, he has more time to follow the exploits of his younger brother T.J., the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive talisman. That also means he might likely be more vocal about his opinions on penalties that, unfortunately, go against his sibling.

Early on during the Steelers’ Thursday night matchup against the Tennessee Titans, T.J. Watt unloaded on Tennessee starting quarterback Will Levis with a perfect picture form tackle. Except according to the officials on hand, it was roughing the passer by virtue of Watt using his body weight on Levis.

This was such a call that will almost always look silly in the context of pro football:

Naturally, J.J. was in attendance and was closely watching play. He did not remotely agree with the penalty on T.J.:

Roughing the passer calls are out of control.

It’s hard to disagree with J.J. about this questionable call. It’s also unsurprising watching him stump for his brother as he dominates the line of scrimmage.
