Cameron Jordan sets Saints franchise record vs. Falcons

Cameron Jordan continued to add to his incredible NFL legacy on Sunday. 

In the first quarter of the New Orleans Saints Week 18 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, Jordan, who entered Sunday's game with 9.5 sacks on the season, notched sack 10.5. 

The sack gives Jordan seven seasons with 10 or more sacks, a Saints franchise record. Jordan is the 22nd player in NFL history to have at least seven seasons in which he's recorded 10 sacks. 

Cam Jordan has been consistently great for Saints

It's not known what the future holds for the 36-year-old defensive end, but if Sunday's game proves to be Jordan's last in a Saints uniform, he'll be leaving the Big Easy as a NOLA legend. 

Jordan has only missed two games in an NFL career that has featured 132 sacks after he took down Kirk Cousins in the first quarter on Sunday. Jordan has totaled at least 7.5 sacks in 12 of his 15 seasons in the league and has never totaled less than 30 tackles in any given campaign. 

Jordan has somewhat returned to vintage form in 2025. His 10.5 sacks are his most in a season since he had 8.5 in 2022 and the first time he's in double digits in the category since 2021, when he had 12.5. 

If Jordan does return to New Orleans in 2026, he'll have an opportunity to build on his own record and go for an eighth season with 10 sacks or more.
