After two strong seasons in Detroit, it appears that the best is yet to come for Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. Coming into the season, he had 21 career sacks but through 3 games this season, he’s already up to 6.5 total sacks this season.

Looking at the video above, Hutchinson used a nasty chop-spin move to bring Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray down for his first and only sack in the game against Arizona.
That sack gave him his fifth-straight game with one sack or more. That is a franchise record-long streak for the Lions. Over the next four weeks, the Lions will play the Seahawks, Cowboys, Vikings and Titans. All four teams have given up 8 sacks or more this season through 3 games played.
The Titans have given up the 2nd most sacks in the NFL with 15 so that could be another multi-sack performance for Hutchinson. Up to 6.5 total sacks this season, there’s a lot of football left to be played. The only question to ask now is if Hutchinson breaks the single season sack record of 22.5 sacks set by Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J. Watt (2021)?
