Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner became the first San Francisco 49ers player since 2012 to have 10-or-more sacks in a single season. The third-year player brought down quarterback Russell Wilson during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and then again during the fourth.
Aldon Smith was the last 49ers player to rack up double-digit sacks when he had 19.5 in 2012, his second season in the NFL.
The 49ers have two more games remaining to close out the season. They will host the Chicago Bears next week at Levi's Stadium before traveling to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to finish the season against the Rams.
