J.J. Watt was all-caps pumped up for his brother, Steelers star T.J. Watt, when he returned a fumble for a touchdown against the Chiefs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers got a huge playoff contribution from star edge rusher T.J. Watt against the Chiefs.
Watt scooped up a fumble in the KC backfield and returned it for the opening score of the Wild Card Game on Sunday night.
Another Watt was watching the action and reacting in only the way a big brother can.

The Watt brothers have been terrorizing NFL backfields for years. J.J. started the tradition of a Watt creating chaos in the backfield and T.J. has more than lived up to his brother in terms of dominance.
The question for both brothers is how long they will be able to keep their seasons going.
T.J.’s Steelers need to pull off an unlikely victory over the Chiefs in order to advance. J.J.’s Cardinals need to beat the Rams on Monday night to stay alive.
J.J. might be able to help his team for the first time in a while in that game. He suffered a shoulder injury in October and was expected to miss the rest of the season. However, he is now in line to play on Monday for the first time since the injury.
Whatever happens on Sunday, T.J. will probably return the favor of cheering for his brother on Monday.
