Myles Garrett is *officially* the first player in NFL history to record 23 sacks in a season! πŸ’ͺ

On our unofficial leaderboard, Garrett has tied the record set by Al Baker in 1978β€”four years before sacks became an official stat: www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/sack...

Notice something different? We’ve changed where the inner page navigation bar is on Hockey Reference pages for desktop users, making it easier for you to get to the stats you’re looking for.

All content remains the same!

They don't call him "King James" for nothing. πŸ‘‘

Across all Sports Reference sites, LeBron had the most viewed player page in the majority of the United States.
