The Buffalo Bills enjoyed a thrilling last-minute win over the Carolina Panthers during Week 2 action on Sunday. Rookie quarterback EJ Manuel completed his first NFL comeback drive to earn the Bills their first win of the 2013 season.
Helping the cause on the other side of the ball was defensive end Mario Williams who set a franchise record with 4.5 sacks in the win. His effort broke the mark shared by Hall of Famer
Bruce Smith and linebacker Cornelius Bennett.
The following are the team-by-team records for sacks in a single game since 1982 when the sack became an official NFL statistic. Also noted in italics are record holders, if recognized by the team, for those players who accomplished the feat prior to the 1982 season.
