Just when you think T.J. Watt can't get any better, he one up's himself. 

But not only did he get the best of his own ability, he passed his own brother to make NFL history on Sunday:

Sack Attack

Watt is unlikely to catch Reggie White given the NFL legend totaled over 100 sacks in his first 100 games, and Watt hit 88 through 96 games, but he is now second all-time in the category, and will likely be there for some time. 

The talent, work ethic, and durability to earn such an accolade is something few players have the ability to do, with the Watt family obviously being a special kind of outlier. 

And just because he got passed up by his little brother, don’t expect J.J. to be jealous:

Watts Next?

T.J.'s feverish pace that had him on tap to obliterate the single-season sack record has certainly slowed since his three-sack season opener, but with eight games to go and Watt now in double digits, it's not out of the realm of possibilities that he gets 22.5 sacks and adds yet another notch on his belt.
