T.J. Watt struggles in Week 4: History will have to wait another week

There is no singular reason why the Pittsburgh Steelers lost their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.  All facets of the offense and defense had their struggles, including the great T.J. Watt, who was looking to become the second-fastest player to achieve 100 career sacks.

On 30 passing plays by the Colts, the Steelers managed to sack the quarterback a measly two times.  Watt, unfortunately, wasn’t involved in either of the two.

Braden Smith, who was initially questionable to play in the contest versus Pittsburgh this week, made Watt a complete non-factor in the game, just as he did in 2022.

However, let’s not get it twisted, Steelers Nation.  T.J. Watt is still one of the greatest defensive players in the NFL today and will look to bounce back to achieve history in Week 5.  The entirety of Pittsburgh will shoulder the loss, and look to rebound against a tough matchup at home against the Dallas Cowboys next week.
