Joey Bosa of LA Chargers Sets A Record

Despite the Chargers 21-13 loss handed to them by the Patriots on Sunday, defensive end Joey Bosa made history at Foxboro Stadium. Bosa set an NFL record for the most sacks made through the first 20 games of his career.

Bosa picked up his 19th career sack on quarterback Tom Brady, breaking the previous record of 18.5 sacks held by Aldon Smith in 2012.

When asked earlier in the week about facing Brady, Bosa said it would be an honor to sack him if he got the opportunity.

The second year player has 8.5 sacks through eight games this season. Bosa finished with 10.5 sacks last season after missing four games.

The Bolts were one of only two teams in the NFL with three players who had recorded at least five or more sacks: Melvin Ingram with 8.5 and Chris McCain with 5 and Bosa.
