Chicago Bears DE Robert Quinn breaks Richard Dent's franchise single-season sack record

CHICAGO -- Bears defensive end Robert Quinn set a franchise single-season sack record Sunday with his 18th takedown after he tackled New York Giants quarterback Mike Glennon in the fourth quarter of Chicago's 29-3 win.

"It's an honor," the soft-spoken Quinn said after the game. "At the end of the day, I'm just doing my job."

Quinn, 31, got close several times in the game before eventually beating left tackle Andrew Thomas for the strip sack (though the ball was recovered by the Giants). The sequence came about midway through the fourth.
