DT DeForest Buckner registered a career-high 11 tackles and two sacks against the Seahawks. He extended his single-season career high to 11 sacks, becoming the first member of the 49ers to register double-digit sacks since LB Aldon Smith finished with 19.5 sacks in 2012.
Buckner has registered two sacks in each of the 49ers' two matchups against the Seahawks this season. He now has two-or-more sacks in three games this season, which is the most by a 49ers player in a single season since LB Aldon Smith accomplished the same feat in 2013.
