In one of the great vengeance performances you’ll see, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack nearly tied Derrick Thomas’ sack record against his old team, the Las Vegas Raiders.
Mack, who didn’t record a sack in the first three games of the season, finished the afternoon contest with six, one away from matching Thomas’ record seven set in 1990 while with the Kansas City Chiefs.
And Mack welcomed him into the league by making history, becoming one of five players in NFL history to get at least six sacks in one game, tying for the second most in NFL history with Adrian Clayborn, Osi Umenyiora, Fred Dean, and Thomas again. Mack, listed at 6-foot-3 and approximately 270 pounds, was drafted in the first round at No. 5 overall out of Buffalo University in 2014 by the Raiders, then of Oakland.Khalil Mack recorded six sacks in a dominant Week 4 display against the Raiders, with whom he played from 2014 to 2017.
