Although the Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt are playing spoiler to the Houston Texans and former defensive end J.J. Watt’s big day, there was an opportunity for brotherly love inside NRG Stadium.

During pregame warmups, the outside linebacker and youngest of the three Watt brothers met with his oldest brother on the sidelines. J.J. and T.J. embraced and then blended in with the ensemble Watt family — including former fullback Derek — to take pictures.

The only time the brothers Watt faced each other in a game was Week 3, 2020, at then-Heinz Field. The Steelers prevailed 28-21. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year may want an opposite outcome on the day he is to be enshrined into the Texans Ring of Honor at halftime.
