Veteran sack artist Julius Peppers will never forget his 100th sack.
“I never got to tell him this before he left, but I’ll tell him one day. A pass-rusher, 100 sacks is a milestone for everybody who gets 100 sacks,” he said.
“And my 100th sack was on Joe Webb.”
It was Week 17 of the 2011 season, and the the Minnesota Vikings, for whom Webb was playing quarterback in place of Donovan McNabb, were losing to the Chicago Bears – Peppers’ team at the time – 17-13 in the fourth quarter.
Webb was looking for receivers on second and 10 when Peppers and former Bears defensive tackle Matt Toeaina laid the lumber for a loss of 3 yards.
