Matthew Judon Breaks 36 Year Old Patriots Record Held By Andre Tippett

New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon is off to a dominant start in 2022.

Through five games Judon is tied for the NFL lead in sacks with six joining Maxx Crosby of the Raiders, Micah Parsons of the Cowboys, and Nick Bosa of the 49ers. He also has 19 total tackles and a forced fumble.

During Sunday’s win over the Lions, Judon recorded two sacks along with four quarterback hits, one of which forced Lions quarterback Jared Goff to fumble the football that safety Kyle Dugger scooped up and returned 59-yards for a touchdown.
