After Pittsburgh’s 20-3 Week 2 loss to New England, T.J. Watt is a bright spot: ESPN named the 31-year-old defender a major surprise heading into Week 3. He has already scored a touchdown, while the Steelers’ offense has only one.
ESPN’s Brooke Pryor said Watt had bounced back after two down seasons under defensive coordinator Patrick Graham’s scheme. She noted that a monitored snap rotation has left him more rested, while he has varied where he rushes from. The article reports Watt ranks second in NFL sacks, at 3.5 per game.
