Chiefs’ Jones ties mark with 10-game sack streak

NFL

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones tied an NFL record by recording a sack in his 10th consecutive game Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

Jones brought down Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the second quarter to tie the mark, also held by Dallas‘ DeMarcus Ware in 2007-08 and Denver‘s Simon Fletcher in 1992-93.

Jones already holds the NFL’s single-season record for consecutive games with a sack, having moved atop the list Sunday against Baltimore with his ninth straight game with a sack.

He later picked up his second sack of the game just before halftime, bringing his season total to 13.5.
