Question

What is the only player in NFL history to have 6-plus sacks in a game twice?

Answer

Derrick Thomas. Thomas had an NFL-record 7 sacks against Seattle in 1990 (those teams will meet again this week at the same venue). Thomas also had 6 sacks in a game against Oakland in 1998. Fred Dean and Osi Umenyiora are the only other players who've had 6 sacks in game.

Dave Kreig and Paul Skansi got the last laugh, tho.

Paul Skansi. There's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.

Wasn't that the play where DT was just about to get his 8th?

I remember Skansi more for his work with the University of Washington. He was a good college receiver. With the Sea-KC game, I remember that the Seahawks somehow pulled out that game at Arrowhead, but I don't recall how.

It took until the 3rd quarter for Derrick Thomas to get his third sack on Krieg. Sacks 4-7 came in the 4th, and he nearly had his 8th on that last play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUSFq5OatdI

In an unrelated topic there were 17 TD passes thrown to TE this past weekend. I would think that might be a record. Maybe Ian could check this out

Wasn't Skansi drafted by the Steelers?

I remember D. Thomas - he was a Seahawks destroyer! Sadly he died in a traffic crash in Feb., 2000 after his 11th season at the age of 33.

On a completely unrelated topic, I went down an NFL rabbit hole and discovered that, in 1991, Chip Lohmiller outscored the entire Colts organization, 149-143.

Lohmiller/Colts. That would be a good trivia question.

I have not thought about touchdowns by posiiton. For 2022, my unofficial numbers show eight other weeks with 10-13 TDs by tight ends.

Re: Lohmiller - Ladanian Tomlinson outscored the Raiders over a full season of games in 2006, 186 to 168.
