Green Bay Packers linebacker Julius Peppers passed Hall of Famer Michael Strahan for fifth on the all-time sack list during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.
A sack in the dying seconds of the first half took Peppers' season total to 6.5 and his career total to 142.5, taking sole possession of fifth place.
Here is the sack that took Peppers past Strahan:
The four men ahead of Peppers - Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Kevin Greene, and Chris Doleman - all have a bust in Canton, which Peppers is all but assured of.
Smith (200) White (198), and Greene (160) are likely out of Peppers' range as he likely only has several years left, but he should be able to move past Doleman's sack total (150.5) sometime during the 2017 season.
