The Pittsburgh Steelers go into tonight’s game having recorded five-plus sacks in three consecutive games. If they repeat the feat once more, they will set a new franchise record for the longest such streak. Never before in the “sack era”—or even before, since at least 1963—have the Steelers recorded five-plus sacks in four consecutive games. Hat tip to Pro Football Talk for pointing this out.
According to Pro Football Reference, the Steelers have recorded six previous three-game streaks. However, three of those occurred in the late 1970s, before sacks were official statistics. That came in 1982, and they first accomplished the feat that year.
