As the Denver Broncos tried and failed to make a comeback against the San Francisco 49ers, one of their star pass rushers broke a team record. Rookie linebacker Bradley Chubb passed Von Miller in sacks by a rookie in team history. Miller had 11.5 during the 2011 season.
The fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft now has 12 sacks on the season.
This marks Chubb’s ninth game with at least half a sack.
Chubb has been a great pick by the team. The Broncos had plenty of options to choose from. With quarterback being a need, it would have made sense for the Broncos to pick one that was available.
