Cameron Heyward recorded a sack last Sunday in the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-13 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles. While the sack didn’t help him pass anyone on the Pittsburgh Steelers sack leaderboard, it does get him up to 71 official sacks.
Ahead of him officially are T.J. Watt with 73, Jason Gildon with 77, and James Harrison who holds the record with 80.5 sacks in the Black and Gold. Obviously, a couple of legendary Steelers are not on this list, but that is because sacks did not become an official stat until 1982. Pro Football Reference has compiled unofficial statistics of sacks dating all the way back to 1960.
