12-year NFL veteran and former TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes snapped a four-game sackless drought against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, teaming up with Carlos Basham to bring down Patrick Mahomes for one-half of the Buffalo Bills’ two sacks in their 38-20 win.
A first-rounder in the 2010 NFL Draft, Hughes will be serving more of a mentorship role for the Bills, who are deploying two talented, young pass rushers in Basham and 2021 first-rounder Greg Rousseau, who has three sacks already. Hughes has played for Buffalo since 2013, compiling 51 sacks, 17 passed defensed and 14 forced fumbles during that span.
