When offensive coordinators begin their game preparation for the Pittsburgh Steelers, there’s a good chance they start by focusing on T.J. Watt, the team’s first-team All-Pro pass rusher. Were it not for injuries causing him to miss some time, he would probably be on pace to break the NFL’s sack record right now.
The Steelers are, in fact, coming off a game right now in which he did not play due to injury, but he is back to face the Cincinnati Bengals—who were spared his presence back in week three due to a groin injury. This time they’re not so lucky, but they know he’s not the only rusher they have to worry about.
