His last 2 sacks today other guys were getting pressure that forced Stafford into an area where Watt could make the sack.
I'm not sure what his stat sheet was, but he was a monster even in a lackluster total defensive effort. A few batted balls, 3 sacks, multiple QB pressures/knockdowns and a couple crucial TFL's. He's an animal.

Who was the one that said he is a lock for the Hall of Fame and compared him to Reggie White at the beginning of the season? Man, it is looking like a scary prediction.
White had 13 passes defensed. At the time they said it, they said Watt and White were the only ones with 15 and 13.
