Lions' Ezekiel Ansah Breaks Cowboys' Randy White's Thanksgiving Day Sack Record

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah has made a habit of using his Thanksgivings to feast—and not just on turkey.

With his third-quarter takedown of Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel, Ansah broke former Dallas Cowboys star Randy White's Thanksgiving Day career sack record (eight), per the Lions' official Twitter account:

Most sacks in #Thanksgiving day history: @Ziggy_Ansahu2757ufe0f https://t.co/ESKi0XnR93

Ziggy now has 8.5 total sacks on the holiday.

The Lions drafted Ansah with the fifth overall pick back in 2013, giving him ample opportunities to pad his Thanksgiving stats with a team always scheduled to play on Turkey Day.
