The Cincinnati Bengals‘ Week 6 win over the Seattle Seahawks featured a dominant defensive line performance that they had been waiting for in the 2023 season. Four Bengals generated at least six quarterback pressures, and they had four sacks.

Defensive ends Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson have been particularly impressive, and both of them are climbing up all-time leaderboards for the Bengals as they do it.

Hubbard’s next sack will put him into a tie with nose tackle Tim Krumrie for 10th place in Bengals history with 34.5 in his career.

That same number also isn’t out of reach for Hendrickson either, who already has 29 sacks in Cincinnati since he joined the team in 2021. He had 14 in his first year with the team, then eight last year, and he has already managed seven in the still-young 2023 season. His 29 sacks in 37 games put him currently at 15th all-time.

With 11 games still to go this year and the pace they are both at, they will likely be moving up the all-time leaderboard soon.
