So you think you know Chiefs pass rushers?
 

As you undoubtedly know, sacks became an official NFL statistic in 1982. Before that year, we have nothing but legend and mystery.

However, Pro football reference now says that they went back to 1960 and did research to build sack stats back to that year for the NFL. So if you trust those numbers, we now ostensibly have sack statistics for the entire Chiefs' history.

The data is behind a paywall, but fortunately so am I. So let's test your knowledge. I'll post questions periodically and let's see how Chiefsplanet answers them.

Note: all data refers to players' careers with the Chiefs only. If someone comes from another team or goes to another team, their stats on those teams don't count. It's the Chiefs, the whole Chiefs, and nothing but the Chiefs.

Question #1 is easy. List the top ten Chiefs in terms of career sacks.

If only Ubeja was still alive.

Bobby Bell and Bill Maas are tied for 13th.

Tied for 107th with William Bartee, Monty Beisel, Deron Cherry, George Seals, and Wayne Simmons

I would guess Jared Allen is 9th or 10th?

Shit. Had to look it up.....he's 11th. lol

Was Elvis Grbac the reason we couldn’t hold onto Neil Smith?

Blergh.

Also, Wallace Gilberry and Frank Clark have the same amount of KC sacks. Although, to be fair, good ol' Wallace played 4 season for the Chiefs.

Aaron Brown looks tasty for that number 9 slot.

Jerry Mays 7
Eric Hicks 10
