What’s better than being named AFC Defensive Player of the Week? How about AFC Defensive Player of the Month?
T.J. Watt, the Steelers stud of an outside linebacker, won the first award after a dominant Week 2 performance against the Broncos in-which he recorded 2.5 sacks and four quarterback hits. Watt won the second award for his overall excellence throughout the month of September and totaling 3.5 sacks, 10 quarterback hits and a very athletic Week 1 interception.
Did you really notice? I mean, of course, you noticed. We always notice Watt.
