It was the sixth time an NFL player has had at least six sacks in a game since the league made sacks an official statistic in 1982. The most recent was Adrian Clayborn for Atlanta in a 2017 game against Dallas.“We just had time to get there. Everybody on the defense was working together,” Mack said. “He was doing a lot of things that was benefiting us while he was moving around in the pocket. I was able to get there.
Mack had two strip-sacks of O’Connell, including one in the second quarter that resulted in Austin Johnson recovering the ball at the Raiders 35. That led to Justin Herbert’s 1-yard touchdown run, which extended the Chargers’ lead to 24-7.
