PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have earned two First-Team All-Pro selections, the Associates Press announced this week with the regular season wrapped up the playoffs set to begin. 

Outside linebacker T.J. Watt and special teamer Miles Killebrew - both Pro Bowl selections as well - were the two Steelers to be honored among the best players in the league as First-Team All-Pro players. 

Watt led the NFL in sacks with 19 for a record-setting third time in his decorated career and is a prime Defensive Player of the Year candidate. He added 19 tackles for loss, 68 total tackles, three forced fumbles and an interception for good measure. 

The Steelers will miss Watt dearly as he sits out their playoff opener against Buffalo with a knee injury. His recovery is expected to take at least a couple of weeks. 

Killebrew has established himself as one of the best special teamers in the NFL. He's blocked four punts since joining the Steelers four seasons ago, which - if Killebrew counted as his own team - would be the second-highest blocked punt total in the league over that same period.
