When the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals, two of the league’s three sack leaders will be on the same field—though not at the same time, of course. Second-year outside linebacker T.J. Watt has two three-sack games under his belt this season, including during Sunday’s victory over the Atlanta Falcons for the Steelers. Veteran and All-Pro defensive tackle Geno Atkins also has six sacks on the year for the home team.
For those wondering, Watt’s brother, J.J. Watt, is the other defender who shares in the sack lead through the first five games of the season.
