T.J. Watt showcased an exceptional performance for the Pittsburgh Steelers, achieving a 95.3 overall grade and contributing significantly with sacks and forced fumbles despite some penalties. The Steelers led in pass-rush efficiency while holding their opponent to low passing grades.
In contrast, the Houston Texans fell to the bottom of the rankings, struggling in both run-defense and pass-rush, indicating a dire need for improvement.
As the new NFL season unfolds, defensive line performances will continue to be a key focus, with expectations of fluctuating rankings as teams adapt and players find their form.
