Steelers' T.J. Watt Stays Tied With Michael Strahan After Sack Record Inquiry Denied

T.J. Watt still has company for the NFL's all-time single-season sack record.

The Pittsburgh Steelers star tied Michael Strahan's record of 22.5 sacks in a season with one sack during Sunday's win over the Baltimore Ravens. However, there was some question whether he should be given credit for another one on a play he knocked the ball loose from quarterback Tyler Huntley.

Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk reported the Steelers inquired about the play, but the Elias Sports Bureau only gave him credit for a tackle for loss and a forced fumble since Huntley had to go to the ground to cover up an errant snap before Watt got there and knocked the ball loose for the turnover.
