TJ Watt lost the PA’s Defensive Player of the Year award to Aaron Donald on Saturday night and his brothers weren’t too happy with the vote.

Watt led the NFL with 15 sacks in 15 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He finished with 53 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one interception. But voters handed the award to the Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman after finishing with 10 or more sacks for the fourth consecutive time.

Houston Texans star JJ Watt and Steelers full-back Derek Watt weren’t happy.

“Aaron Donald is an absolutely amazing player. I love watching him play and he’s definitely heading for the Hall of Fame. It has nothing to do with AD personally,” JJ Watt tweeted.

“I’m the one saying what my brother doesn’t want.

“TJ played 1 game less and ALWAYS led the NFL in all major categories.”

AARON DONALD WINS AP DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

The Texans defensive end tweeted a photo of a table comparing his brother’s defensive stats with Donald.

Derek Watt retweeted his brother’s file and tweeted TJ’s photo.

TJ Watt has completed his fourth season with the Steelers and has arrived quite strong, which makes the future pretty bright for the aspiring star.

In 2020, Donald recorded 13.5 sacks and 45 total tackles, as well as four forced fumbles and one recovered fumble. He also had 14 tackles for loss and 28 quarterback hits.
