Nick Bosa played in just three games for the San Francisco 49ers in 2025, but it sounds like he’ll be ready to take the field once again when the Niners face the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday. 

“He’s going out there,” said defensive coordinator Raheem Morris ahead of the game. 

“Whatever you want to say, he’s going. He’ll be there. We’re not hiding that.”

Bosa – a former Defensive Rookie and Defensive Player of the Year – led the NFL with 18.5 sacks in 2022 but has seen that total decline each season since that year. While he did have two in the three games he played in last year, he tore his ACL in Week 3 against the Cardinals. 

Entering the 2026 season with a divisional matchup against what is expected to be one of the best teams in the NFL, the Niners will want all hands on deck to start their 2026 campaign. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Two of the 36 18-sack seasons in NFL history belong to Bosa. With that being said, can you name the NFL players to reach the 18-sack milestone since the stat was officially tracked starting in 1982?

Good luck!
