"James Pearce Jr. is the first Falcon to put up eight in a season since Vic Beasley did so in 2019 and has the official rookie single season record; Brandon Dorlus has seven sacks of his own in a breakout second year and fellow rookie Jalon Walker is sitting on 5.5. They've already tied the 2004 Falcons for the second-highest single season total for the statistic, a feat that team reached in 16 games."
"The Falcons are averaging over three sacks per game, and need eight sacks to break the record. They play Jacoby Brissett (at least two sacks in all but one of his starts this season), Matthew Stafford (a challenging matchup, given his arm and ability to move in the pocket), and Tyler Shough (who the team sacked five times the last time they saw him)."
With three games remaining the Falcons have 48 sacks and are positioned to challenge the franchise single-season sack record. Ten players have two or more sacks in 2025, led by rookie James Pearce Jr. with eight, Brandon Dorlus with seven, and rookie Jalon Walker with 5.5. The team reached the second-highest single-season total already, matching the 2004 Falcons in fewer games. The Falcons average over three sacks per game and need eight more to set the record. Remaining opponents include Jacoby Brissett, Matthew Stafford and Tyler Shough, each presenting varying matchup challenges. Recent offseason investments along the line have fueled the pass rush surge, though health and consistency will determine the final outcome.
