Michael Strahan is one of the most notable names in sports and TV history. His NFL record for sacks in a season has stood since it was set at 22.5 in 2001. The record has only ever been tied by Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end TJ Watt.

While the record may stand, some recent questioning of the long-held record has occurred after a video clip of one of Strahan’s sacks from the 2001 season went viral. It may not have been a sack, but it was called a sack at the time.

In an X post by MLFootball, the clip shows Strahan apparently making the tackle at the 43.5-yard line after the ball is snapped at the 44-yard line. This was in a week eight game against the Dallas Cowboys, and fans are now adamant that it is not a sack.

Michael Strahan Should Not Hold The NFL’s Single-Season Sack Record

This comes after recent evidence suggests that the NFL may have cheated the aforementioned Steeler Pro Bowl defensive end TJ Watt out of the record after they refused to credit the All-pro for a sack against the Baltimore Ravens in 2021.

While the record may technically not yet be broken, some NFL fans already consider Watt the NFL’s single season sacks leader after the debackle. Strahan’s record still stands along with his 141.5 sacks throughout his 15-year NFL career.

Watt currently sits at 96.5 career sacks, making it a real possibility that the current NFL super star may just get the last laugh when it comes to the all-time career sacks. Strahan currently sits in sixth place on the all-time sacks list.

We can only hope that TJ Watt remains healthy long enough to break that record in the NFL’s eyes and possibly many others along the way, but as it stands, the NFL unfortunately leans Strahan’s way in this case.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
