This year’s Eagles have accomplished a feat not seen since the great 1985 Bears.

After sacking Daniel Jones five times in Saturday night’s win over the Giants, the 2022 Eagles now have 75 sacks in their 18 combined regular season and postseason games. That’s the third-most in NFL history.

The most ever was the 82 sacks recorded in 18 games by the 1984 Bears, and the second-most was the 80 sacks in 19 games by the 1985 Bears. The Eagles are now in elite company.

Philadelphia is averaging four sacks a game, which means if the Eagles play in two more games — the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl — they’re on pace to finish with 83 sacks and break the all-time record.

  1. 1985 Bears defense was awesome. They beat my 49ers in the NFC title game, preventing them from trying to win back to back SBs. Opposing QBs often only had a little more than 2 seconds to make their reads and throw.

  3. I love when these stories come out. So many g00fball fans claim Bears fans live in 1985 all the time. This is more evidence against that. The NFL uses the ’85 Bears as a measuring stick for the past 3-4 decades.
