James Harrison sends T.J. Watt a congratulatory message after breaking his sack record

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been known to rush the quarterback throughout history. Whether it was the pre-sack era, before sacks were a registered statistic, with “Mean” Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood and Jack Lambert harassing quarterbacks, or if it was the modern era of Joey Porter, Jason Gildon and James Harrison.

The Steelers defense is known to get after the quarterback.

The latest in his lineage of great pass rushers is T.J. Watt, and if you had any questions about just how good Watt has been in 2021, the fact he just set a new franchise record for sacks in a season, passing James Harrison’s mark of 16 sacks, should answer any question you might have.
