T.J. Watt spent more time in the Cleveland Browns’ backfield Monday night than Nick Chubb and D’Ernest Johnson.
The Steelers’ elite pass rusher picked up four sacks as Pittsburgh disrupted its AFC North rivals to the tune of nine sacks.
Watt was unstoppable. In addition to the sacks, he was credited with 5 solo tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 2 passes defensed. Just another night’s work.

T.J. Watt is having what I'd consider the best single season a pass rusher has ever had.
Watt has 21.5 sacks (one away from Michael Strahan's record) and he's missed two games.
Watt also played limited time in several games due to his injuries.#HereWeGo #CLEvsPIT

On 3rd and short, T.J. Watt sacks Baker Mayfield for the second time tonight — forcing a punt.
Watt has generated a sack on 6.1% of his pass rushes this season, the highest single-season sack rate in the NGS era (min. 200 pass rushes).#CLEvsPIT | Powered by @awscloud pic.twitter.com/4A0mPAtHyu
