Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt said he no longer sets individual goals based on statistics, so he's not overly focused on potentially breaking the NFL's single-season sack record in Week 18.
Watt recorded four sacks in Monday night's win over the Cleveland Browns, which brought his season total to 21.5. The official record is 22.5 by New York Giants legend Michael Strahan in 2001, though the Detroit Lions' Al Baker is credited with 23 in 1978 before sacks became an official statistic.
Watt told reporters:
"The first year or two, I used to do big individual goals: 'x' amount of sacks, TFLs [tackles for loss], all that stuff.
