T.J. Watt leads NFL in sacks with bounce-back season for Steelers

T.J. Watt, the Pittsburgh Steelers' All-Pro linebacker, is tied for the NFL lead in sacks with 7.5 after eight games this season. His renewed performance includes 19 tackles, 12 quarterback hits, and one interception. Critics previously claimed Watt was washed up after a decline in previous seasons, but his current form underscores a strong comeback at age 31. In addition, he holds the record for the most career sacks against the Cleveland Browns with 19.5. Watt aims to set a new franchise record for forced fumbles with his current total of 37, tying him with Greg Lloyd.
