PITTSBURGH, Pa. (KDKA) – Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker TJ Watt recorded his 100th career sack, becoming the second fastest player to reach the mark in NFL history.

Watt's 100th sack came during the team Sunday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

The sack came in the first half of the game when Watt and fellow linebacker Nick Herbig combined to bring down Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

Watt reached the 100-sack mark in just 106 games.

The only player to reach that mark faster than Watt was Pro Football Hall of Fame member Reggie White, who reached the 100-sack threshold in just 96 games.

Watt's brother JJ joked on social media afterward, saying “welcome to the 100 sack club” and saying that the new guy was buying everyone else a car.

JJ Watt had 114.5 sacks in his NFL career.
