Bucky Brooks: A Better Steelers Offense Could Mean Even More Sacks For T.J. Watt

When it comes to T.J. Watt it is hard for him to keep raising the bar after multiple seasons that garnered NFL Defensive Player of the Year votes, including him winning the award in 2021 when he set the league’s single-season sack record with 22.5. He will turn 30 years old this year and is probably closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but he has shown no signs of slowing down.

Among many other impressive statistics, Watt led the league with 19 sacks in 2023. Is it crazy to think that he could improve or even take sole control of the single-season sack record next year?
