When we look back in the annals of Steelers’ greats, the one thing that’s always been a constant is a consistent and productive pass rush. This last season is perhaps the biggest proof of that, as the unit led the league in sacks for a whopping fifth-consecutive season, with 55, but also boasted the league’s most ferocious rusher, T.J. Watt.
All Watt did was rack up 22.5 sacks, which tied the single-season record set by Giants’ Hall Of Famer Michael Strahan back in 2001. He did that while being supplemented by All-Pro defensive linemen Cam Heyward, who came in second on the team with 10.
