Since drafting TJ Watt in 2017, the Steelers have ranked 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, and 1st in sacks. Since week 2, with Watt out of the lineup, the Steelers rank 32nd in sacks, by a safe margin.

We've seen the numbers on the Steelers W-L with and without Watt in the lineup (by now, the Steelers are 52-22-2 when Watt plays at least half of the game, compared to 1-11 when he does not). The Steelers' pass rushing success with/without Watt is remarkable.

In week 1, with Watt in the lineup, the Steelers had 7 sacks against the Bengals, but in the 6 games since, the Steelers have collected just 5 sacks total. That ranks dead last, comfortably, among all NFL teams since week 2. Here are team sack totals since week 2 this season:
