The best player in football yesterday was TJ Watt. You wanna talk game breakers? TJ ruined anything the Falcons had planned yesterday. Anytime RedZone flipped to the game he was making Kirk Cousins' life a living hell. Just watch this compilation below, it's amazing how dominant he was. 

Watt was so good at timing the Falcons' snap count that he even had the refs fooled. I mean you actually can't do it better than this.

It almost looked like the only explanation was cheating. 

The refs threw the flag on that for offsides, but they were dead wrong. He wasn't having it, and rightfully so. 

It was later said that Watt found something on film that was his golden key to unlock the snap count. He was so good at timing the count that the ref apologized to him at half for calling back the strip sack.

Being so good at sports that the refs have to apologize to you is a god level tier of elite. I know people love to throw Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, and Nick Bosa into the conversation, but there's no one better than TJ Watt on the defensive side of the ball. No I was not held at gun point by Jersey Jerry when typing that. He's just on a different level than everyone else. Dude has two strip sacks called back on him and still did plenty to wreck the game. It's amazing how much of an impact he makes. Now he gets Box Nix? Good God. If Watt stays healthy and doesn't win the DPOY then the voting is a sham. What a football player.
