CHICAGO -- Bears defensive end Robert Quinn set a franchise single-season sacks record Sunday with his 18th takedown after he tackled New York Giants quarterback Mike Glennon in the fourth quarter.
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).
Quinn broke former Super Bowl MVP Richard Dent's mark of 17.5 sacks set in 1984. He began the season with 5.5 sacks in his first seven games played this year and then went on a tear, recording at least one sack in his past eight games, including Sunday.
