T.J. Watt Becomes 4th Steeler To Record 10 Sacks In First 10 Games Of A Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers went six years, from 2011 through the 2016 season, in which they failed to see at least one defender record 10 or more sacks during the year, a streak that was finally broken by defensive end Cameron Heyward in 2017. James Harrison was the last to do it before him, in 2010, LaMarr Woodley also hitting 10 that year.

Today, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, second-year outside linebacker T.J. Watt became the first at his position, and the second overall, to record 10 sacks in a single season for the Steelers defense since 2010, finishing with two sacks of Blake Bortles on the afternoon, and both of them were forced fumbles.
