For many, it’s a common belief that the Pittsburgh Steelers go as star outside linebacker T.J. Watt goes. When Watt is healthy and on the field making impact plays, the Steelers are in great shape and will win many games. When he’s quiet and not making those impact plays, well, the Steelers struggle.
Fortunately for the Steelers this season, Watt is making those impact plays consistently, helping the defense be one of the best in the league at taking the ball away and limiting points.
Second-year outside linebacker Nick Herbig believes the Steelers go as Watt goes, too.
