Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt share a football field on Thursday night with a bit of extra motivation to one-up each other.

In February, as Garrett took home his first Defensive Player of the Year award, Watt -- not attending NFL Honors -- posted "nothing I'm not used to" on social media, highlighting his thoughts on losing the award to the Cleveland Browns' pass rusher.

Garrett told reporters on Tuesday that he's never heard directly from Watt regarding the miffed social media post, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

"No, he didn't say nothing to me. He's got to apologize to me when I see him," the pass rusher said via the team's official transcript.

Watt finished the 2023 season with more sacks (19 to 14) and tackles (68 to 42) while Garrett generated more pressures (79 to 70) and led the NFL's top-rated defense.

Garrett took issue with another star player commenting on his award.

"I've never complained about the trophy not being in my house and vice versa," he said. "He shouldn't be feeling two ways about it going to me. So, I'm just going to play the game, I don't play against T.J., he doesn't play against me. But we have a plan to go out and do what we're supposed to, win the game and dominate on defense. But it's up for grabs this year, and we'll see the best man win."

For his part, Watt didn't inflame the situation this week, but also didn't sound like he had any plans to apologize.

"I have respect for everybody in the league. Obviously, he's a guy who has been a top pass rusher in the league for a long time," Watt said the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "But I don't compete directly against him. It's our team versus their team, and at the end of the day, I just want the Pittsburgh Steelers to come out with a win."
