Shoe in

10/21/2011

Baltimore Ravens veteran linebacker Ray Lewis sacked Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on the eighth play of their game during Week 6. Lewis' sack was one of four that he and his teammates registered in their 29-14 home win over Houston at M&T Bank Stadium.

The sack also marked the 40th of his career. Lewis, by reaching that sack total, became the first player in National Football League history to ever record 40 sacks and 30 interceptions in a career. The shoes and gloves he wore in the game on Oct. 16, 2011 were shipped to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The mementos from the historic milestone arrived at the museum on Friday and will be placed on exhibit inside the Pro Football Today Gallery.

Lewis also had 8 tackles and 4 assists to go with his sack as Baltimore improve their record to 4-1 with the win.
