There is a new joint single-season sack leader in the NFL, and his name is T.J. Watt.
The defensive end tied Michael Strahan's single-season record of 22.5 sacks Sunday in the Steelers' Week 18 finale when he sacked Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley in the second quarter.
While Watt tied the record after the NFL switched to an 18-game season, the four-time Pro Bowler played in one less game in his than Strahan, who played in 16 games in 2001 during his record-setting season. Watt played in 15 games this season after he missed two games due to injury.
