Elvis Dumervil's sack of Matt Cassel during the third quarter Sunday in the Broncos' 44-13 victory over Kansas City was his 15th of the season.

For Dumervil, it's a career high and the second-best mark in Broncos history.

He leads the NFL in sacks this season, and his 10 third-quarter sacks are the second-most in the NFL since 1982.
