Pittsburgh Steelers third-year outside linebacker Alex Highsmith lost the current NFL lead in sacks on the season this past week after being blanked in that category against the Miami Dolphins. New England Patriots edge rusher and former Baltimore Raven Matt Judon is coming off of a 2.5-sack game, giving him eight on the season. Nick Bosa and Micah Parsons are also now up to seven in the year, half a sack ahead of his total.
But he is already above where he was last season, finishing his first full year as a starter with six sacks. Still, his efforts are to be commended.
