PITTSBURGH -- It was not lost on the millennials in the Pittsburgh Steelers' locker room Sunday what it meant to break this particular franchise’s single-season sacks record.
“New Blitzburgh, baby,” linebacker Vince Williams said. “There’s a lot of great guys that have gotten sacks on quarterbacks in this building. We’re just glad we could add to it.”
With six sacks in a regular-season-ending victory over the woeful Cleveland Browns, the 2017 Steelers finished the year with 56 -- a new standard for sacks in the history of a franchise known for its defense.
