The former Kentucky standout broke the Jacksonville Jaguars’ single-season sack record. On his second sack of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, Allen reached 15.5 sacks on the season, breaking Calais Campbell’s record of 14.5 set in 2017.

Allen is in Year 5 with the Jaguars. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft is making a strong case to be paid handsomely this offseason.
Entering Sunday’s contest, Allen’s career numbers through 72 games (58 starts) included 240 combined tackles with 41 sacks. His career-high in combined tackles came in 2021 when he posted 71 stops.
Things are going well for Allen’s Jaguars on Sunday as they seek a spot in the playoffs. The Jacksonville defense is pitching a shutout, as even without Trevor Lawrence the Jaguars lead 16-0 in the 3rd quarter. The game is airing on CBS.
