Tj watt and jj watt

JR Radcliffe Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 10:53 PM EST Dec 16, 2018 With the Chargers, Texans and Steelers all recording wins over the past few days, we’re a few steps closer to seeing all three Watt brothers in the forthcoming NFL postseason, and it seems likely at least two of the Pewaukee triumvirate would face off once they get there.  The one team that has locked up a playoff spot is Derek Watt’s Los Angeles Chargers. The fullback and his cohorts are now 11-3 after an impressive win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, 29-28.

He also recorded eight tackles and a forced fumble in that Week 5 game. The linebacker's impressive performance earned him a second AFC Defensive Player of the Week honor.

JR Radcliffe Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 2:12 p.m. UTC Aug 17, 2018 Wisconsin’s most notable gifts to the world include cheese, beer and cranberries, but who represents the greatest export in athletics? That’s mostly an unanswerable question, but if we try to gauge which Wisconsin athletes are the biggest sports stars right now, we can at least arrive at a list. Here’s our best attempt to rank the top 20 Wisconsin natives in sports today. First, a look at what we’re ranking: For eligibility, athletes must have attended high school in the state. That rules out athletes who were only born here or live here today, although it does potentially omit a few who are still very much Wisconsinites. You’ll see where we make an exception.
