A beautiful day, a W for our boys, and most importantly, no injuries as several players from the Pittsburgh Steelers played in Sunday’s 2022 Pro Bowl in Paradise, Nevada.
TJ Watt, Cam Heyward, Najee Harris and Diontae Johnson all arrived to Allegiant Stadium earlier this morning and were ready to roll from the jump. Check them out:
They all looked just as good in their red and white AFC threads:

Our first highlight came from Watt who is the PFWA Defensive Player of the Year. On this play, he made a DPOY type play by strip-sacking Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. The play led to a pick-6 by Cleveland Browns defensive star, Myles Garrett:

The ensuing two-point conversion was caught by Johnson!

The game ended in a 41-35 win for the AFC, making it five straight for the American Football Conference. Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers and Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders won the Offensive and Defensive MVP Awards respectively.
Overall, it was great to see the Steelers so well represented, just like in years past. Let’s just hope that next year, we don’t see any Steelers playing, as they’ll hopefully be resting to play in the Super Bowl.
Final Stats:
Najee Harris – 5 rushes, 15 yards, 1 reception, 7 yards
Diontae Johnson – 1 reception, 33 yards, 2-point conversion
TJ Watt – 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble
Cam Heyward – 2 QB pressures
