Unsurprisingly, Mahomes Says He Has To ‘Make Sure To Account’ For Watt, Heyward On Every Snap

Like many great defenders before them, Pittsburgh Steelers stars TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward can single-handedly take over a game and wreck it for the opposing offense, helping lead the team to wins.

Watt has certainly done that quite a bit this season in just 15 games, recording 22.5 sacks to tie the NFL’s single-season record held by New York Giants’ Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, while also adding 39 quarterback hits, seven passes defensed, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in a year that should result in the NFL’s 2021 Defensive Player of the Year award.
