Steelers news: TJ Watt records 100th career sack against the Cowboys in Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher TJ Watt officially recorded his 100th career sack in his 109th regular season game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5, making him the second-fastest player to reach 100 career sacks of all time.

Watt’s 100th sack was a nine-yard strip sack/fumble against Dak Prescott, recovered by Nick Herbig to save the Steelers from a score at their own 11-yard line.

Unfortunately, the Steelers were unable to capitalize on the turnover, going three and out without gaining a single yard on the drive, after two penalties and a sack against Justin Fields killed the loss.

The fastest player in NFL history to reach this milestone was Pro Football Hall of Famer Reggie White, who accomplished the feat in just 96 games. That means Watt has also beaten fellow Hall of Famers DeMarcus Ware (113 games), Bruce Smith (115) and of course his brother JJ, who recorded his 100th sack in his 120th game played.

Watt also became the third player of all time to reach 100 career sacks before his 30th birthday, joining White and 4x All-Pro DE Jared Allen.
