🟡 107 receptions
⚫️ 6 dropped passes
His 3.6% drop rate was better than that of:
• Cooper Kupp
• Justin Jefferson
• Tyreek Hill
• Keenan Allen
• Mike Evans
+ many more
But the narratives…
The Steelers since 2021:
• When TJ Watt plays at least 50% of the defensive snaps: 17-5
• When TJ Watt plays less than 50% of the defensive snaps: 1-10-1
