Derrick Johnson Makes History, Becomes Chiefs All-Time Leading Tackler

Last year, against the San Diego Chargers in Week 7, running back Jamaal Charles became the all-time leading rusher.

And now, the Chiefs have another all-timer, but this one is on the other side of the ball.

Linebacker Derrick Johnson needed just 5 tackles against the Green Bay Packers to become the Chiefs all-time leading tackler, passing former great Gary Spani’s previous record of 999.

Johnson broke the record with a tackle of running back James Starks midway through the third quarter.

"It's going to speak for itself,” Johnson said this week of the record.
