The result confirmed promotion with two games to go. Watt had posted updates throughout the match and later followed up with a Twitter post that had a photo of him in Burnley gear, captioned:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!!!!!! Come On Burnley!!!!!\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Monday\u2019s win came courtesy of two goals from Josh Brownhill. The result, along with Leeds United\u2019s 6-0 win over Stoke City earlier in the day, also ensured Leeds\u2019 promotion back to the top flight. Burnley and Leeds now sit tied at 94 points each, with the Championship title yet to be decided.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley\u2019s return comes a year after relegation under Vincent Kompany, who\u2019s now at Bayern Munich. Scott Parker, appointed in July last year, has led a turnaround campaign with a record of 26 wins, 16 draws and 2 losses. Burnley has scored 61 goals and conceded 15.<\/p>\n<p>For Parker, this is his third promotion to the Premier League as a manager. He\u2019s done so before with Fulham and Bournemouth. Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Parker acknowledged his past career setbacks and praised the support of those around him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/jj-watt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">J.J.

Watt earns $14M in new role as CBS\u2019s No. 2 NFL analyst<\/h2>\n<p>J.J. Watt has secured a $14 million role as CBS\u2019s No. 2 analyst. The retired defensive end transitioned to broadcasting after ending a 12-year NFL career in 2022, where he earned an estimated $130 million in salary. His on-field experience now supports his new position in front of the camera.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old retired after the 2022 season with the Cardinals. That year, he recorded 39 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 16 games. In late Sep. 2022, he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation but continued to play. He confirmed his retirement shortly after the season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>Watt had signed a two-year deal with the Cardinals in 2021. He played through a shoulder injury that season before returning for the Wild Card Round.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/4408491-1740984008-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Heena singh&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nHeena Singh is an NFL writer at Sportskeeda with over four years of experience in the field, most recently with Essentially Sports.
