PITTSBURGH– Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker TJ Watt is joining the history books. While the elite edge rusher and the Steelers lost 20-17 to the Dallas Cowboys, Watt achieved a feat that only a few others achieved in their careers. Watt recorded his 100th sack against the Cowboys on Sunday, becoming the second-fastest player to reach that milestone in just 109 career games. The only player to ever get there faster was Hall of Famer Reggie White.

Just five days before his 30th birthday, Watt reached the 100-sack milestone, becoming only the third player in NFL history to do so. White and Jared Allen were the only other players to reach 100 sacks before their 30th birthday. In other words, Watt is on a historic pace that only one other player has ever matched or surpassed.

The Cowboys allowed Watt 1.5 sacks on the day, so he totaled 101 sacks. Watt forced a fumble that was also recovered by Nick Herbig. Watt is already the leading sacker in Steelers history and on Sunday became the first ever to reach 100 sacks.

As of now, Watt is well on his way to becoming a first-ballot Hall of Famer and adding his name to the pantheon of the best pass rushers in NFL history.
