How many NFL players have had 20 sacks in a season?

[Batman]

I am not saying it is for sure Ware will get that, but now that he is up 18 sacks and with 2 games left, he has a chance at it. How many other players have gotten 20 sacks in a season?

Go the NFL.com and look at the player stats.

No LB has ever done it, I can tell you that much.

Ware has either broke the record, tied it or is 1 shy of it then for a LB.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

I think he gets 20 tonight.

 

[jobberone]

He should get at least one more. I'd love for him to get three more.

We need to get up on this Giants team. If they could stop the mistakes then maybe.

It's going to take big plays and turnovers to win if we play like that in the 2nd half.

Strahan, we know

Gastineau

I think there's one more. It might be Reggie.

So that's it? Six?

Yup, I went through every season through 1982.

 

[Rampage]

Ware and Porter should have 20 by the end of the year.

 

[Joe Realist]

That is a mighty impressive list.

I think Ware gets 20, assuming health of course

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Let's go D-Ware, get some more sacks!!

 

[Batman]

Ware now has 19 sacks. With 2 games left, chances are in his favor that he could get 1 more. I just want to be careful about getting too optimisitic here and jinx him.

Looks like that will be a first since they started keeping sack records, 2 players with 20 or more in the same season.
