Let’s play Match Game. T.J. Watt’s performance was so quiet – how quiet was it – he failed to record a single pressure in Thursday night’s loss to the Cleveland Browns. For an elite player like Watt, that simply doesn’t happen. Holding him without a sack is a win for the opposing offense. Zero pressures? Teams don’t even plan or expect that. They just care that he doesn’t ruin the game. Everything else is gravy. For Cleveland, they were eating good in this one.
Per our weekly charting, RT Jack Conklin (and company) shut Watt off the pressure sheet on his 29 rush attempts.
