‘We’re Gonna See About That’: Steelers Confident Watt, Highsmith Can Wreck Raiders’ Clean Sheet In Pass Protection

The Pittsburgh Steelers went on a five-year run in which they posted 50 or more sacks in each season, from 2017 through 2021. The only deviation was last season, which uncoincidentally was when superstar edge rusher T.J. Watt missed almost half the season and was not healthy when he returned.

He certainly looks healthy through two games so far this year, sharing the league lead of four sacks with the Minnesota Vikings’ Danielle Hunter. Now he is looking to bring the sack show on the road, but it won’t be an easy task against QB Jimmy Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders

“We got two dogs on the end, so we’re gonna see about that”, ILB Kwon Alexander said, via the team’s website, when a reporter pointed out the fact that the Raiders have not yet allowed a sack this season through two games, the only team that can make that claim.
