DeMarcus Ware is one of the 10 best pass-rushers in NFL history.
The numbers simply speak for themselves.
With his sack of Andrew Luck in the second quarter, Ware moved into a tie for No. 10 all-time in sacks with 133.5 in his career.
Ware started inside, instead of on the outside shoulder of the tackle, where he usually lines up. He waits a few seconds before he rushes Luck, swinging around the outside with speed and going untouched before he takes down the 6-foot-5 quarterback.
That sack tied Ware with John Abraham at 133.5, with Bruce Smith leading everyone at 200.0 sacks in his career. With another four sacks, Ware can move into a tie for seventh all-time, and six more sacks would mean Ware would be tied for sixth all-time with Jason Taylor.
