The Pittsburgh Steelers have two elite EDGE rushers in T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, but the two usually don’t switch spots, and rush from their respective sides. Highsmith usually rushes from the left while Watt rushes from the right, but against the New York Giants, the two switched sides, which freed up both of them, as Highsmith got a sack from the opposite side and Watt had a few good rushes.

Watt or Alex Highsmith’s snaps in the starting lineup. “We let those guys play,” defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo on X.
