Thanks to a dominant start to the season, two Pittsburgh Steelers were named to Pro Football Focus’ Midseason All-Pro Team Wednesday afternoon.
That would be standout defensive lineman and team captain Cameron Heyward and star outside linebacker T.J. Watt. The pair has helped the Steelers improve to 6-2 on the season, entering the Week 9 bye week.
Within that 6-2 mark, the Steelers’ defense has been one of the best in the league, leading the Steelers to a +10 turnover mark while also limiting opponents to the second-fewest points scored per game.
The two were among seven players from the AFC North who landed on PFF’s Midseason All-Pro team.
