Watt now holds the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 10th single-season sack marks in Steelers history in just his 5th season in the NFL. He is up to 66.5 career sacks.
Watt continues to lead the NFL in sacks with 17 and is up to 30 QB hits and 17.5 TFL. It will be interesting to see if he is able to pull in the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
