Bradley Chubb has been everything for the Denver Broncos that they hoped when they took him with the fifth overall pick in the last draft. Chubb has already piled up eight sacks so far this year and is focused on finishing this season strong, no matter how the team does as a whole.

“I mean, nobody has told me (the best way to finish), because everybody handles it differently,” Bradley Chubb said with a shrug via the Denver Post. “My main thing is just to try not to think about week by week, and just try to go in and take it day by day, take it another day at a time.

“I don’t think, ‘Oh, this is Week 9, this is Week 10,’ because I feel like that’s when you start messing yourself up.”

Chubb admits that he does have one number in the back of his mind, 14.5. That is the rookie sack record set by Jevon Kearse when he was the Tennessee Titans in 1999.

“For sure, I’ve definitely looked at it. I definitely know the number,” Chubb admitted with a grin. “I’ve definitely got it written up somewhere. But my main focus is just doing what the team needs. And if it happens, it happens.”

Chubb is currently on pace to finish this season 14.2 sacks, which would put him close to breaking Kearse's record, and would shatter the Broncos record of 11.5 set by Von Miller who was a rookie at the time. The Broncos have a tough schedule to finish the season and he is going to go against some tough offensive lines like the Los Angeles Chargers.
