T.J. and Derek Watt will take the field for the Steelers (2-0) who are looking like their Super Bowl winning team of years past that relied on one of the best defenses and play from Ben Roethlisberger. No player has more than T.J. Watt’s 2.5 sacks on a Pittsburgh defense that ranks second in the NFL with 10 sacks. Roethlisberger’s surgically-repaired elbow looks just fine as the 17-year NFL veteran connected on three passes of over 20 yards last week, including an 84-yard bomb to rookie Chase Claypool.
J.J. Watt twice sacked an elusive Lamar Jackson last week in Houston’s 33-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 2. Deshaun Watson has been doing everything in his power to get the Texans their first win but has been sacked eight times, tied for worst in the league. Despite trading away DeAndre Hopkins who leads the NFL in receiving, Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller both have been fairly productive, each with over 110 yards receiving.
Pittsburgh has won the last two meetings with Houston and would move the Texans to an unenviable 0-3 which normally spells doom on the playoff front. The Texans, however are the most recent team to make to playoff after an 0-3 start, doing so in 2018.
