Steelers have perfect chance to restore T.J. Watt’s dominance

Fresh off a nail-biting 34-32 victory against the New York Jets, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense became a hot topic around the NFL landscape. The Jets offense dominated the league's most expensive defense to the tune of 182 rushing yards, and former Steelers quarterback Justin Fields had perhaps his best overall game as a professional.

The biggest issue for the Steelers' defense was the front seven, who failed to plug up rushing lanes or get to Fields often enough to disrupt the offense. T.J. Watt was uncharacteristically quiet as a pass rusher, with just one pressure and zero sacks.
