Derek Watt ‘It Feels Good’ To Be Key Contributor To Steelers’ League-Best Short-Yardage Offense

The fullback dive is undefeated. Or, at least this year it is. Nearing a career-high in carries, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran fullback Derek Watt has so far gone a perfect 5-for-5 in rushing attempts on the season, all on 3rd and 1, all picking up at least two yards.

His most recent success came on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, popping free for a four-yard effort on the third play of the game, in fact. It was the second time in as many weeks he picked up four yards on a 3rd and 1, doing so against the Indianapolis Colts last Monday.
