Steelers-Colts matchups to watch: T.J. Watt vs. Braden Smith
T.J. Watt has a shot at making history in Week 4, needing only half a sack to do so. However, his focus will be on the matchup with the Colts’ reliable right tackle, Braden Smith, in a battle critical to both his legacy and the Steelers' potential 4-0 record.
Smith has had a strong start to the Colts’ 2024 campaign, only allowing 3 pressures in Week 1 and one sack in Week 3. He has struggled against faster edge rushers like Chicago's Montez Sweat, and he now faces the challenge of stopping T.J. Watt, something few have managed this season.
Watt has been dominant in 2024, averaging one sack, one-and-a-half quarterback hits, and over two pressures per game. He aims to use this momentum to help push the Steelers to 4-0, and reach 100 career sacks in Week 4.
The Steelers' pass rush and the Colts’ offensive line will clash in a violent and physical battle this Sunday, Sept. 29th, at 1 p.m. EST. With both vying for a better spot in the AFC race to the top, the Watt and Smith matchup will be critical for both teams’ success.
