For the first time since November 4th, 2001, the New England Patriots recorded nine sacks in a single game, punishing the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive line this past Sunday.
The nine sacks tied for the most of any Bill Belichick-coached Patriots team and were just two short of the franchise record.
Six of those sacks came from Matthew Judon (3) and Josh Uche (3). It was the second time in Patriots franchise history that multiple players (Uche, Judon) had 3+ sacks in the same game. The other time was in 1985 when Andre Tippett and Don Blackmon did so against the Green Bay Packers.
