It can be said time and time again: Pittsburgh Steelers fans represent on the road better than any other team in the NFL. This afternoon was no different as Steelers nation traveled to Los Angeles to witness another wild win.
T.J. Watt, the game’s defensive star with a 24-yard interception return that led to a Kenny Pickett rushing touchdown, praised the fans for showing up and showing out in L.A. The away crowd forced the Rams to use a silent count throughout the matchup.
“Steelers Nation is incredible,” Watt said in a postgame press conference. “They’ve been incredible all season long. And I want them to understand how important that is, especially for us on defense. Anytime you can get offense going to a silent count, it helps us out tremendously.”

Pickett seconded that emotion. “I truly believe we have the best fans in the world. It’s like a home game when we go on the road,” he told Fox sideline reporter Pam Oliver after the game.
The Steelers have five more away games, including at Cleveland, Seattle and Baltimore in the remaining 11 weeks.
