Steelers’ Top Four Man Rush Grouping Leads NFL In Sack Rate
Since the Pittsburgh Steelers selected T.J. Watt in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, they have led the league in sacks as a defense in five out of seven seasons. With Watt injured for a good portion of the 2022 season, they were tied for 14th most with 40 sacks. This season, they are currently tied for the 13th most sacks with 39 and should easily finish above their mark from last year.
Watt leads the league in sacks with 16 this season. Alex Highsmith is having a down year with six sacks, but has 22 pressures and is still plenty disruptive opposite Watt.
