Pittsburgh Steelers defenseman TJ Watt believes he is treated differently by referees than other players.
He said that on Sunday after a 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

“The NFL has something against me,” Watt said at a press conference. That’s why I don’t want to say anything negative about her yet. I don’t know what I did, but I won’t say anything more.”
The league’s 2021 Defensive MVP made the comment when asked about a play where he appeared to be pinned by an opponent and no tissue was thrown. Watt also appeared to be injured during this sequence.
The Steelers will return to action this Thursday while the New England Patriots will visit Acrisure Stadium.
