With an outstanding performance in the 49ers' 31-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at Levi's Stadium, Nick Bosa now is tied with Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald in quarterback pressures through Week 15.
Both star pass rushers are tied for third in the league with 68 quarterback pressures each. They rank behind Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby, who has tallied 78 pressures and Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett, who has totaled 72.
Bosa, who has started all 14 games this season, has recorded 15 total sacks. Bosa’s production is even more noteworthy with this being his first season back after suffering an ACL injury early in the 2020 season.
