Zach Allen aims for Broncos to break NFL sack record in 2026

Zach Allen, defensive tackle for the Denver Broncos, expressed the team's goal to break the NFL single-season sack record during a recent interview. Allen pointed to the Broncos' franchise record of 68 sacks set in 2025, just four shy of the all-time NFL mark of 72 set by the 1984 Chicago Bears. He highlighted the team's defensive depth, noting contributions from multiple players and head coach Vance Joseph's strategies. With the addition of a 17th game, Allen believes the Broncos are in a strong position to achieve this goal, despite the recent loss of defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers to free agency. The Broncos completed 2025 as the top-ranked defense in sacks and pressures, falling just short in the AFC Championship Game.
