In the 3-4 era, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been at their best seemingly when they had a great set of edge defenders. You had Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene in the 90s. Then you had James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley. Now they have T.J. Watt…and Bud Dupree? Their combined 26 sacks are the second-most put up in a single season by a duo in franchise history, behind Harrison and Woodley in 2008 with 27.5.
Watt does carry a lot of the water for the duo, but they’re both at a high enough level that Pro Football Focus included them in a list of the top five edge defender duos in the NFL…coming in at number five, admittedly.
