Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams has been an absolute sack machine this season, living up to his nickname, "Super Mario." Through the first seven games, Williams has recorded 10 quarterback takedowns, a Bills record through that stretch.

New York Giants great Michael Strahan broke the NFL single-season sack record in in 2001 with a whopping 22.5 sacks. If Williams continues his dominance, he'll surpass Strahan by a half sack.

Williams also earned his second Defensive Player of the Week award this season after his dominant performance against the Miami Dolphins. Number 94 took the game into his own hands with a late strip sack, which set up Carpenter with game winning field goal.
