Giants’ Jermaine Eluemunor on T.J. Watt: ‘Didn’t Do A Damn Thing’ Until Fourth Quarter

In a recent statement, New York Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor fired back at critics regarding his performance against Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt during their Monday night game. Eluemunor asserted that Watt was largely ineffective for most of the game, saying, “T.J. Watt didn’t do a damn thing until the strip sack in the fourth quarter.”

Despite Watt’s significant reputation as one of the top defensive players in the NFL, Eluemunor claimed he held his own against the Steelers’ linebacker for the majority of the game. Eluemunor emphasized that he was often left to block Watt one-on-one, stating, “I was on an island,” but still managed to contain him until the critical fourth-quarter play.

The strip sack in the fourth quarter was a pivotal moment in the game, highlighting Watt’s ability to make impactful plays even when he is not dominant throughout. This play has been a point of discussion, with some analysts noting that while Watt may not have been as active as usual, his single impactful play could be seen as a testament to his skill and importance on the field.
