Nick, Joey Bosa make NFL history by combining for five sacks in Week 8

The Bosa brothers are just showing off at this point.

49ers rookie Nick Bosa and Chargers veteran Joey Bosa became the first pair of brothers to each record multiple sacks in the same NFL week since 1985.

Nick, the younger of the Bosa brothers, recorded four tackles and three sacks in the 49ers' 51-13 blowout win over the Panthers at Levi's Stadium. The No. 2 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft became the third 49ers rookie ever to have three sacks in one game. Troy Wilson was the last 49ers rookie to do so, nearly 26 years ago on Oct. 31, 1993.

Oh, and Nick added his first career interception for good measure, too.

Nick dominated in Santa Clara right after Joey did the same in Chicago. The elder Bosa had seven tackles -- four for loss -- and two sacks in the Chargers' 17-16 win over the Bears.

The Bosa brothers are putting up ridiculous stats to start their 2019 campaigns. Joey now has 42 tackles -- 10 for loss -- and seven sacks over eight games for the Chargers. Nick has recorded 20 tackles -- 11 for loss -- and seven sacks in seven games for the 49ers.
