Bradley Chubb Sacks Philip Rivers, 5th Straight Game With a Sack

Two NC State legends met in the backfield in Los Angeles yesterday as opponents. Former NC State Defensive End Bradley Chubb (Broncos Linebacker) sacked former Wolfpack quarterback Philip Rivers (Chargers QB) at the end of the 1st half.

He finished the game with 7 tackles (career high), 1 sack, 2 tackles for loss, and 2 QB hurries.

Chubb has now recorded a sack in 5 straight games, and ranks 9th in the NFL with 9 sacks through 11 weeks.

Chubb is 6 sacks away from breaking the rookie sack record set by Jevon Kearse in 1999.
