TJ Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers have a 3-2 record and lead the AFC North. Though their offense has been struggling, the defense is one of the best in the NFL taking over crucial divisional games against the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.

As it’s been a tradition, the numbers of Watt are just remarkable with eight sacks and two forced fumbles in only five games. If he keeps that pace, a new record in the league might be coming.
