🏈On November 11, 1990 Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas set an NFL record with 7 sacks on Seahawks quarterback Dave Krieg. Despite this feat, Krieg eluded a blitzing Thomas on the game's last play and threw a touchdown pass to Paul Skansi, which gave the Seahawks a 17–16 win over Kansas City. The record came close to being matched with 3 occasions of players reaching 6 sacks, once by Thomas himself in 1998. 🏈 | Davenport Sports Network
