Bears Jared Allen is just three sacks away from 10th All-Time
Jared Allen has been pretty solid since entering the NFL, but the veteran is very close to a milestone which would put him as a top 10 member of a very important club. If Allen can hit three more sacks he will pass both Leslie O’Neil (former Charger) and Lawrence Taylor (former Giant) to enter the top ten for career sacks. Allen only has 1.5 sacks this year, but he is facing his former team, and might want to get a little revenge.
