Nick Bosa wants to set the 49ers single season sack record

Nick Bosa has already had an incredible season, but apparently, he has his sights set even higher.

Following another dominant multiple-sack performance against Washington on Christmas Eve, Bosa was asked whether he thought the NFL’s single-season sack record of 22.5 by Michael Straham and TJ Watt was in reach.

“Um, maybe,” Bosa said after the game with his trademark sigh, “It’s not the main thing on my mind. I’m kind of eyeing the 19.5 more than that. Aldon [Smith].”

Smith set that 49ers' single-season sack record in 2012 when the 49ers rode an incredible defense and Colin Kaepernick all the way to the Super Bowl.
