One For The Record Books: Chad Brown Notches Single-Game Franchise Sacks Record In 1996 Win Over Bengals

When one thinks of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the first thought is usually about defense, particularly sacks.

Throughout the illustrious history of the Black and Gold, there has been a number of sack artists from the likes of Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, James Harrison, Cameron Heyward, T.J. Watt, Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene, and more. None did what former Steelers outside linebacker Chad Brown did in Week Six of the 1996 season.

On Oct. 13, Brown was a one-man wreaking ball against the Cincinnati Bengals at Three Rivers Stadium, racking up a career-high and franchise record 4.5 sacks in a 20-10 win over the Bengals.
