Steelers Film Room: T.J. Watt responds to cold spell with the best NFL game of his young career

We all know what Bud Dupree is, and that is a guy who can’t pass rush in a one-on-one situation. Thus, we all hoped his comrade on the other side, T.J. Watt, would show out and be a key pass rusher for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year.

After a great week one performance, Watt went cold in weeks 2 through 4, much like most of this team. Watt seemingly had no pass rushing moves, and had to be schemed to get pressures on the QB. His run defense, which is usually good, slipped down to levels which were horrendous.
