Cleveland Browns: 4 players to watch on the Steelers
1. OLB T.J. Watt
T.J. Watt is one of the very best players in the NFL today bar none. Whether it is offense or defense, it does not matter as Watt is that good.
Watt is worth every single penny, and then some, from the four-year, $112 million extension he signed earlier this year. The Steelers went against their own norm with the extension, but it is one they clearly had to make and were smart to do so.
So far, through six games, Watt leads the team in sacks (7), tackles for loss (7), and forced fumbles (3). That’s just a small glimpse of what this man is truly capable
For his career, which he is in the middle of year five, he has 56.5 sacks, 123 QB hits, 186 solo tackles, 66 tackles for loss, and 20 forced fumbles. He’s on a rocket ship to Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The Browns are going to have to heavily game plan for Watt this Sunday. Cleveland must know and execute all of their assignments to prevent Watt from making plays.
In seven career games versus the Browns, Watt had nine sacks, 29 solo tackles (41 total), and an interception.

Watt is one of the premier defenders in the entire NFL and can certainly take a game over if given the opportunity to do so.
