Despite being questionable all week long due to being placed in COVID-19 protocol, Watt was in the lineup today against the Ravens, and in the first quarter, he got himself a sack against Lamar Jackson.
Watt joins Reggie White, who was a defensive end with the Philadelphia Eagles, who recorded at least 13 sacks between 1985-1988.
The Steelers made Watt the highest-paid defensive player this offseason with a five-year extension worth $112 million and $80 million guaranteed.
