Alright, I'm going to say this one final time so all of you can move on. TJ Watt did not have 618 pass rush snaps in 2021. Myles Garrett did not have 437 pass rush snaps in 2025. There is some terminology (and intentionally misleading images) that we need to clear up.
Team pass snaps = total # off pass snaps the entire team faced (total pass attempts against + sacks)
Pass rush snaps = total number of times an individual player was a pass rusher
In 2021, the Steelers as a team faced 618 team pass snaps -- 563 attempts and 55 sacks.
In 2021, TJ Watt was a pass rusher on 393 snaps (413 total minus 20 snaps that were negated by penalty). He averaged 17.47 snaps per sack and 1.5 sacks per game played (2nd best all-time behind Reggie White's 1.75 in 1987).
In 2025, the Browns as a team faced 540 team pass snaps -- 487 attempts and 53 sacks. The "437" number floating around was team pass snaps as of December 15th.
In 2025, Myles Garrett was a pass rusher on 479 snaps (507 total minus 28 that were negated by penalty). He averaged 20.83 snaps per sack and 1.35 sacks per game played (8th best all-time).
All of this can be found on PFF.com, pro-football-reference.com and pro.nfl.com. There is a small amount of disagreement on pass rush snaps between PFF and NFL Pro, but it negligible.
Now, let's get on with our lives.
