The Pittsburgh Steelers set a franchise sack record in T.J. Watt’s rookie season. They hit 56 sacks in 2017, and stayed north of 50 for five consecutive seasons. Over the past three years, however, those numbers have dipped, and that is especially the case this year.
On a per-game basis, they are on pace for their lowest sack total in the T.J. Watt era. And that is, of course, with a seemingly fully healthy Watt. With 25 team sacks through 11 games, the Steelers are only on pace for 38 in 2024. That would match the 38 they recorded in 2016, during which the NFL still ran 16-game seasons.
