T.J. Watt became just the 13th player of the sack era (beginning in 1982) to record at least 20 sacks in a single season after compiling four in last night’s game, which was a new career-high for a single game for him, and just half a sack shy of the team’s all-time single-game sack record (belonging to Chad Brown, who had 4.5 sacks in one game during the 1996 season).
The Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker retook his NFL sack lead in commanding fashion after losing it the day before when the Chicago Bears’ Robert Quinn notched number 18, himself jumping from 17.
