If there’s one thing Pittsburgh Steelers fans hate, it’s stats like pass-rush win rate or pressures on the quarterback. This mainly stems from players like T.J. Watt being nitpicked by the media for not leading the NFL in these stats while also being one of the league leaders in sacks and constantly being one of the most feared pass rushers in football. Even just this past year, it seems Watt was snubbed for another Defensive Player of the Year award because he didn’t have the best numbers, according to these fancier metrics. It seems fans aren’t the only ones who despise these advanced statistical categories.
