T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith are two of the best edge-rushing tandems in the league, and Cleveland heads to Pittsburgh knowing they'll be difficult to stop.

Jones has been putting in the prep work with studying Watt, and said the biggest takeaway is his relentlessness -- he also added the best way to prevent him from wrecking the game would be Jones leaning into his own strengths due to his size.

“T.J. finds a way to win,” Garrett said. “He’s a dog. He always has those second-effort plays. He can win inside, outside. He’s strong, he’s fast. I mean he doesn’t look as strong as he is, but the way he long arms guys or the way he finds a way to fight through a double or single, it’s really impressive and I have a lot of respect for his game and him.”

“We have Dawand playing with T.J., so we have to make sure we do some things different in the passing game so we control the line of scrimmage,” Wills said. “But for me as well. I’m going to be on the other side and have to make sure I’m sound in what I’m doing and come ready to play.” Highsmith has recorded 7.0 sacks in his career against the Browns, and eight QB hits. Against the 49ers last week, Highsmith had no sacks but was credited with two pressures by PFF.

While the Browns will have to contain the Steelers pass rush, they’ll have to get production from their own on the other side of the ball. Garrett and Okoronkwo each got a sack last week, while Smith and Garrett each had four QB hits.
