Detroit Lions Times Sacked Leaders
Career totals with the Lions and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through November 1: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. Figures before 1932 are reconstructions; the NFL kept no official statistics. Portsmouth Spartans 1930-1933.
Matthew Stafford holds the Lions career record with 386 times sacked. The single-season record is 63, by Jon Kitna in 2006.
