Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa collected four tackles and a sack during Sunday's 21-13 loss tot he New England Patriots.

Bosa's sack Sunday pushed him to 8.5 total through eight games this season. When added to the 10.5 sacks he recorded over 12 contests last season, Bosa's 19 total sacks are the most over the first 20 games of a career since the NFL added the category as an official stat in 1982, per NFL Communications.

The 2016 third overall pick didn't make his NFL debut until Week 5 of last season due to a hamstring injury, but he made his presence felt in his first career game against the Oakland Raiders, debuting to the tune of five tackles (four solo) and two sacks.
