Where Watt can hurt the Bengals
How he gets his production, set against how the Bengals have held up in their last 17 games. Ranks are of 32.
The read
- Cincinnati give up a sack on 5.2% of dropbacks over their last 17 games, 10th of 32 (a line that holds up).
- Watt is 78th percentile for sacks, but against this protection his splash plays (99th percentile) may matter more than sack volume: a strip or a batted ball can swing it.
