After the awful collapse at the end of the Steelers 2020 season, I was looking at the offensive line and found a startling correlation between J.C. Hassenauer playing and the Steelers offense being terrible and the team losing games.
I can sum it up in one stat: when J.C. Hassenauer played 25% or more of the snaps the Steelers averaged 18 points a game and went 1-4. When he didn’t? 30.3 points a game and an 11-1 record.
That’s the kind of swing the Steelers are seeing when T.J. Watt is healthy or not in 2021.
