Philadelphia: So, the Eagles faced off against the Steelers, and wow, what a game! Lane Johnson was the star of the show, totally focused on stopping T.J. Watt. He didn’t let any distractions get in his way.
After the game, Johnson said all he could think about was keeping Watt from wrecking the game. And honestly, he did a fantastic job. Watt is a beast, and Johnson knew he had to step up.
Even though Watt got a couple of sacks, they weren’t really on Johnson. He held his ground well, allowing just one pressure in 40 snaps. That’s impressive! Johnson’s performance gave everyone confidence, especially Coach Sirianni, who praised him for battling one of the best in the league.
Watt ended up with some stats, but Johnson’s solid play was key to the Eagles’ 27-13 win. It’s not easy going one-on-one against a player like Watt, but Johnson made it look manageable.
Johnson, now 34, is still playing at a high level. He’s aiming for his sixth Pro Bowl selection, and it’s clear he’s still one of the top tackles in the NFL. His teammate, Jordan Mailata, even called him the best offensive lineman in the league.
It’s great to see Johnson still dominating after all these years. He’s a true asset to the Eagles, and his performance against Watt just proves how valuable he is to the team.
