Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt has agreed to a four-year extension worth more than $112 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. The extension includes $80 million of fully guaranteed money, Rapoport added.

Big Ben needs to be replaced ASAP for the Steelers. It's obvious he is done for. Put Mason Rudolph in for the rest of the season.

Also, the Steelers were clearly robbed on that blocked field goal for TD recovery on that bogus offside call.

And that should do it, 22-10 Miami and Baltimore has no timeouts left and must score twice. Anyways, Baltimore has deserved to lose sooooo many games and got lucky at the last moment (Kansas City, Indianapolis, Minnesota), so this is a very welcome development.

As a Steelers fan, anytime the Ratbirds lose feels sweet.
