A League Of His Own: Kaboly Predicts T.J. Watt Will Break Single-Season Sack Record

Just two seasons ago T.J. Watt tied Michael Strahan for the most sacks in an NFL single-season. Now, The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly believes he is destined to become the sole record holder.

“With 9 1/2 sacks through eight games, Watt is on pace for 20,” Kaboly wrote in The Athletic’s NFL second-half predictions article. “The single-season record is 22 1/2, which Michael Strahan and Watt share. The Steelers don’t play a terrible offensive line the rest of the way (i.e., no Giants or Commanders on the schedule). But what about the Bengals, Browns and Ravens? Watt has 39 of his 87 career sacks against those teams, and he has four games remaining against that trio.
