Early in the fourth quarter of the Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants, the Pittsburgh Steelers did something they typically don’t do on the defensive side of the football: have outside linebackers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith switch sides.
Watt and Highsmith switched for four snaps total, with Watt lining up against Giants left tackle Chris Hubbard while Highsmith found himself lining up against Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor.
On one of those snaps, Watt generated a pressure and forced New York quarterback Daniel Jones to step up in the pocket.
