With Week 5 stat change, Saints defensive end Cam Jordan bumped to 110.5 career sacks

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan’s wish was granted.

On Wednesday, the NFL changed Jordan’s sack count from the Saints’ 39-32 victory over the Seattle Seahawks last weekend at the Caesars Superdome. He went from 1.5 to two sacks on the stats sheet. Originally, Jordan was only credited with a half-sack on his second takedown of Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, splitting the work with Saints linebacker Demario Davis.

“I heard it was 1.5,” Jordan said when asked about his two sacks immediately after the Week 5 game. “I heard DD jumped on at the very end and somehow stole half. But I like what you’re thinking.”

The update means Jordan has had a league-best four games with at least two sacks since Week 15 of the 2021 season.

Jordan now owns 110.5 career sacks, ranking second in the Saints’ all-time record book. He’s 12.5 away from Rickey Jackson’s leading 123. They are the only two players who have reached the 100-sack milestone.

“They say eventually your love for the game changes, but until that does, I don’t have to address it,” Jordan said Wednesday. “I want every practice rep, every game rep. If there’s a rep to be had and I’m on the field, I should be out there.”
