Turn Up The Heat: Steelers’ Pass Rush Primed For A Big Day In Houston

Through the first three weeks for the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have 13 sacks as a team. That leads the NFL with the Colts, Bills, and Cowboys all tied for second place with 12.

Blitzburgh appears to be back after the Steelers relinquished their grasp on the sack crown last season, having OLB T.J. Watt miss a good portion of the season due to injury while Philadelphia Eagles posted a ridiculous 70 sacks in 2022, blowing away the competition. Prior to that Pittsburgh led the league in sacks from 2017-2021, having players like Watt and OLB Bud Dupree rushing from the outside as well as DL Cameron Heyward, Stephon Tuitt, and Javon Hargrave creating havoc on the interior.
