Although Mack started the season with just one sack in his first five games, his torrid two-month stretch from mid-October to mid-December was the most dominant of the season. Over that eight-game span, Mack terrorized opposing quarterbacks for 10 sacks, 13 QB hits, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and a pick-six while the Raiders entered the playoff picture for the first time in over a decade.
