Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt has played just two games this season after tearing his pectoral in Week 1 of the NFL season. However, one of those two games, which took place during Week 1, was against the Cincinnati Bengals. During his press conference on Monday, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor talked about all the ways Watt affects a game ahead of the Steelers-Bengals matchup on Sunday afternoon.
“He affects every play. He’s really smart, you can just see he has tremendous awareness in just the run and the pass,” Taylor said. “Does a great job communicating to those around him, he’s somebody you always have to be aware of, he makes those behind better because they know the ball is going to come out quicker,” he continued.
