Pittsburgh Steelers Fans Are Furious That Myles Garrett Won NFL Defensive Player Of The Year Over TJ Watt

Pittsburgh Steelers fans are some of the most passionate fans in the league. Maybe no fan base supports their players like Steelers fans.

That’s showing up in a big way, as Pittsburgh fans are absolutely livid online that Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year over Steelers star TJ Watt.

The award was announced at Thursday night’s NFL Honors in Las Vegas.

Steelers fans are upset because Watt did have better counting stats this year than his divisional rival. But, the advanced stats and thinks like pressures and hurries do give the edge to Myles Garrett.

I’m not sure why Steelers fans aren’t understanding that just sacks are a very bad way to measure pass-rushing play, because so many things aren’t factored in. Double team rate, scheme, alignment, and player responsibilities have to be factored in as well. Not to mention a tangible stat like hurries, which are also positive plays for the defense.

Here are some tweets from Steelers fans about what they see as a snub.

Steelers fans are sticking up for their guy in TJ Watt. I get that. But, I think the voters got it right this year. Myles Garrett was the most dominant defensive player this season.
