Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams had the Week 14 game against his former team, the New York Jets, circled on his calendar. On Sunday, Adams not only shined, but set himself a new NFL record.
Adams finished the day logging five tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass defensed and a sack. More importantly, Adams set the new league record for the most single-season sacks by a defensive back at 8.5 on the year.
Adams has played in just nine games this year . . . and he’s just getting started.
“It really hasn’t hit me yet that I broke the record but, really I’m trying to shatter it to be real with you,” Adams said after the win. “This is just a start, it’s not the finish. The marathon continues.”
For his impressive play against the Jets, Adams is the Seahawks Wire’s Peak Performer.
He’ll get another shot to add to his sack total next Sunday when the Seahawks head east to square off against the Washington Football Team.
