T.J. Watt sends message to Steelers faithful after win over Raiders
Pittsburgh Steelers fans made their presence known at Acrisure Stadium West in Las Vegas on Sunday. The black & gold crowd was on fire, and T.J. Watt acknowledged how significant it was in the Steelers’ victory.
“We are not surprised by Steelers Nation at all,” Watt told sideline reporter Melissa Stark after the game. “I think it was 70-30 [Steelers fans] here. It felt like a home game. We had them on a silent count. And I promise you, Steelers Nation, it makes a huge difference.”

The sea of Steelers fans got so rowdy it caused a delay of game and, coupled with a defensive stop on third down, resulted in the Raiders punting the ball away.
