The Pittsburgh Steelers’ much-needed victory against the New Orleans Saints saw the return of reigning DPOY T.J. Watt, who the defense had missed immensely. Though his stat sheet did not pop out in his first first game back from injury, make no mistake on the impact of his return on the defense. When asked about said impact, linebacker Alex Highsmith, who plays opposite Watt, did not mince words.
“He brings so much energy to our lineup,” Highsmith said in a Wednesday interview when asked about what changed with Watt’s return according to Steelers Live on Twitter.
