T.J. Watt On Cusp Of Franchise History, One Sack Away From Tying James Harrison’s Single-Season Record

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a total of six seasons in which a player has recorded at least 14 sacks in a single season in franchise history. T.J. Watt now has two of them. In fact, he has three seasons with at least 13 sacks, and he is the only player out of 10 total such seasons with more than one of them.

The other seven 13-sack seasons were recorded by, in chronological order, Keith Willis (1983), Mike Merriweather (1984), Kevin Greene (1994), Chad Brown (1996), Jason Gildon (2000), James Harrison (2008), and LaMarr Woodley (2009). For a team with such a rich history of sacks, it’s pretty remarkable that Watt is exclusive to this group.
