The Broncos Pass Rush Is About to Make HISTORY — 55 Sacks and Hunting the ’84 Bears

The Denver Broncos defense is on an absolutely insane tear right now. 55 sacks. #1 in the NFL. ELEVEN more than the 2nd-place Browns. And here’s the wild part: They are 17 sacks away from breaking the NFL single-season record held by the legendary 1984 Chicago Bears (72 sacks)… with FOUR games left. Denver’s sack monsters so far: Nik Bonitto — 12.5 Jonathon Cooper — 7.5 Zach Allen — 6 John Franklin-Myers — 5.5 Ja’Quan McMillan — 4 (from a CB, LOL) They’re averaging 4.23 sacks per game. They need 4.25 per game to break the record. That’s literally ON PACE. And the final stretch? Packers (6th in sack % allowed) Jaguars (18th) Chiefs (13th) Chargers (26th — yikes) Two tough matchups, two tasty ones. The record is RIGHT THERE. If Denver closes this out, we might be watching one of the greatest pass-rush seasons in NFL history. The 2025 Broncos defense isn’t just good. It’s Bears ’84, Steelers ’76, Eagles ’91 territory. Broncos Country… We might be witnessing an all-time unit forming in real time. #NFL #Broncos #BroncosCountry #DefenseWinsChampionships #PassRush #NFLHistory

Derrick Henry Passes Jim Brown — Now 11th All-Time in Rushing Yards

Derrick Henry just added another massive milestone to his résumé. With 34 yards on the opening drive today, Henry (12,328) officially passed Jim Brown (12,312) to move into 11th all-time in NFL rushing yards. He’s now just 412 yards away from cracking the top 10: All-Time Rushing Leaders: Emmitt Smith — 18,355 Walter Payton — 16,726 Frank Gore — 16,000 Barry Sanders — 15,269 Adrian Peterson — 14,918 Curtis Martin — 14,101 LaDainian Tomlinson — 13,684 Jerome Bettis — 13,662 Eric Dickerson — 13,259 Tony Dorsett — 12,739 Derrick Henry — 12,328 Jim Brown — 12,312 … and so on. Every RB with 12,000+ yards is either already in the Hall of Fame… or isn’t eligible yet (Gore, Peterson, Henry). Where do you rank Henry all-time if he finishes top 10? #NFL #DerrickHenry #Titans #NFLHistory #RushingYards #NFLRecords

The Chicago Cardinals' most untouchable record in football history

It happened on Thanksgiving Day 1929. Ernie Nevers of the Chicago Cardinals didn’t just have a good game against the Bears… he scored ALL 40 points in a 40-6 victory. Six rushing touchdowns AND four extra points. Every. Single. Point. The crazy part? This wasn’t some blowout against scrubs - this was against the CHICAGO BEARS, their crosstown rivals, on Thanksgiving in front of packed stands. Most casual fans have never even heard of Ernie Nevers, but longtime fans know he was the Babe Ruth of early football. Stanford legend, played baseball AND football professionally, and was considered one of the greatest athletes of his era. That record has stood for almost 95 YEARS. Think about that - through the passing explosion, through fantasy football, through every offensive revolution… nobody has even come close to scoring 40 points in a single game. Some records are meant to be broken. This one? This one is eternal. Only the real ones know about the day one man WAS the entire offense. 🏈 #ErnieNevers #ChicagoCardinals #NFLHistory
