Broncos' Dominant Defense Chases Historic Sack Record
16 Nov
Summary
- Broncos on pace for 78 sacks, 6 more than current record
- Defense has 46 sacks, 14 more than any other team
- Broncos can join elite group with 50+ sacks in first 11 games
As of November 16th, 2025, the Denver Broncos' defense has been nothing short of dominant. The team has already recorded 46 sacks this season, leading the league by a wide margin. In fact, the Broncos are on pace to finish the year with a staggering 78 sacks, which would eclipse the current single-season record of 72, set by the 1984 Chicago Bears.
To put the Broncos' pass-rushing prowess into perspective, they are four sacks away from joining an elite group of teams that have recorded 50 or more sacks in the first 11 games of a season. This exclusive club includes the 1967 Raiders (61 sacks), the 1989 Vikings (53), and the 1987 Bears (51).
With their relentless pursuit of the quarterback, the Broncos' defense has been the driving force behind the team's success this year. As they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs and their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Broncos will be looking to add to their historic sack total and cement their place in the NFL record books.
