‘He Was Still Affecting The Game’: Cam Heyward Says T.J. Watt Was Impactful Despite Limited Production

Entering the Week 4 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, the expectation was — as it is every week — that star outside linebacker T.J. Watt was going to have a major impact for the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially on the road.

Obviously, that wasn’t the case, at least on the stat sheet, where Watt had just 2 assisted tackles, no sacks, no tackles for loss and just 2 quarterback pressures. The Colts chipped him time and time again, disrupting his path to the quarterback and giving right tackle Braden Smith plenty of help.

There was some criticism of Watt for the lack of production in the loss to the Colts and questioning if he should be moved around more to find mismatches.
