Hold the champagne, T.J. Watt isn’t the real Steelers sack leader yet

How many sacks did Mean Joe Greene record in his career? How about Super Steeler pass rusher L.C. Greenwood? That depends on who you ask, and whether you care about what stats the NFL considers “official”.

If you look at historic NFL defensive stats and don’t know what is going on, you might be surprised to know that officially, Derrek Tuszka with his sack in the Titans game just moved ahead of Mean Joe Greene and L.C. Greenwood for career sacks for the Pittsburgh Steelers. he also has more forced fumbles, tackles for a loss, and passes defended than Mean Joe did.
