"How will the Steelers edge rushers T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig fare against the Patriots? Here's a shocking number through two weeks: Watt has a 7% pass rush win rate at edge. That's less than half the average for a starting edge rusher (roughly 16%) and way below his career average of 24%. Watt has been chipped by tight ends an awful lot, but 7% is still shocking now matter how much attention he draws."
"If there is a get-right game for Watt, it's this one. He will likely face Patriots right tackle Morgan Moses, who has the lowest pass block win rate at tackle in the NFL (75%). But the other side of the line is just as interesting to me: Herbig could have a big role since Alex Highsmith is out with an ankle sprain."
T.J. Watt has a 7% pass-rush win rate through two weeks, far below the average for starting edges and well under his 24% career figure. Watt faces Patriots right tackle Morgan Moses, who posts the lowest pass-block win rate among tackles (75%). With Alex Highsmith sidelined, Nick Herbig could assume a larger role; Herbig's career pass-rush win rate is 24%, and he is likely to face rookie left tackle Will Campbell, whose 84% pass-block win rate is below top-tier performance.
