30 NFL records that could be broken this season

19. Nick Bosa, Most sacks in a season all time
The sack record has been hanging on by a thread for a long time. Michael Strahan basically touched Brett Favre to get the sack record in 2001. The Good Morning America host has been holding onto the record, and we’ve been reminded of the terrible way he got it for 20 years. Since Strahan broke the record, seven players recorded at least 20 sacks, but nobody hit 23 yet. That changes this season.
T.J. Watt always has a chance to break the record. He’s already tied the record in 2021 despite missing two games. However, this is going to go to Nick Bosa. The San Francisco 49ers defensive end led all players in sacks last season with 18.5. He even missed a game. With 17 games under his belt this season, Bosa is finally going to take Strahan out of the record books.
The 49ers hope to be in the Super Bowl this season, but first they have to destroy the regular season.
The schedule for the 49ers really helps Bosa get off to a great start. They start the season with the Las Vegas Raiders, who are in flux under center, and the Denver Broncos, with Russell Wilson who was sacked 55 times last season. Bosa could have six sacks after two games. That will help take the edge off, and he can coast to the record.
