Denver Broncos defensive lineman Zach Allen said the team expects to break the NFL single-season sack record during the 2026 season. NBC Sports reported the comments, which came one day after the current date. Allen attributed the outlook to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s schemes, which he said create one-on-one opportunities for pass rushers.
He added that the Broncos must continue adjusting to improve. “We came close to the sack record last year and we fully expect to break it this year,” Allen said via the Denver Post. The NFL record stands at 72 sacks, set by the 1984 Chicago Bears.
The Broncos recorded 68 sacks in the 2025 season after staying on pace to break the mark for much of the year.
