The Atlanta Falcons have found an absolute gem in James Pearce Jr., and he continued to revolutionize the pass-rush. On Atlanta's opening drive in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks, Pearce sacked Sam Darnold, which saw him get in the sack column for the fifth consecutive game.
Across his last five games, the 21-year-old amassed 5.5 sacks, which saw him make history, The last rookie to have a sack in five straight games was Micah Parsons in 2021, who has since become one of the best pass-rushers in football while placing Pearce into some elite company amid his heroics.
