Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt just had one of the best “down” years in NFL history. He “only” recorded 11.5 sacks last season, his lowest total while healthy since his rookie year. Of course, he also forced six fumbles and had 19 tackles for loss, but only sacks matter to some people.
They do matter, of course, and Watt knows the Steelers need more. He also knows he is the one who has to go get them. While they have Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig, he is the elite game wrecker. That is what he wants to do, by his own admission.
