Bud Dupree and T.J. Watt can accomplish what no pass rush tandem has done since 2014

Bud Dupree finally broke through in 2019, reaching double digit sacks for the first time in his five year career. T.J. Watt also reached double digit sacks in 2019, leading the team with 14.5 sacks. The last Steelers duo to record double digit sacks in the same season was James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley in 2010, the last in a three year streak where both recorded at least 10 sacks.

If Bud Dupree and T.J. Watt can both reach double digit sacks in 2020 they will be the first pair to do so for the Steelers since Woodley and Harrison, Additionally, they would be the first to do so in the NFL since 2014 when Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes both reached double digit sacks in consecutive years for the Buffalo Bills.
