The 2025-26 League Year

Broncos can become fourth team with 50 sacks in 11 games

The Denver defense is going to need a good nickname.

www.nbcsports.com

Via NBC Sports research, the Broncos can join the 1967 Raiders (61), the 1989 Vikings (53), and the 1987 Bears (51) as the only teams with 50 or more sacks in the first eleven games of a season.

The Broncos’ 46 sacks lead the league by 14 over the Steelers and Seahawks, both with 32. (Seattle and Pittsburgh have played nine games each.)

Well, they "only" got three sacks today, so they missed out on joining that club.
