On Sunday, Watt broke through the Chicago Bears’ offensive line and forced a strip sack on Caleb Williams. With that play, T.J. recorded his 115th career sack in only nine seasons, beating J.J.’s 114.5 sacks from a 12-season career. For now, the younger Watt reigns supreme, but J.J.’s playful threat keeps fans wondering if this story is far from over.
