The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense made history on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.

With Tyson Alualu's sack of Josh Allen and forced fumble during the second quarter, Pittsburgh set a new NFL record after notching at least one sack in 70 straight games.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers previously held the record, establishing their mark between 1999 and 2003.

The Steelers' defense has been among the league's most-dominant units this season, ranking second in yards allowed per game and first in points allowed heading into Week 14.

T.J. Watt leads Pittsburgh with 12 sacks this campaign, while Stephon Tuitt and Bud Dupree - who recently suffered a torn ACL - have notched eight apiece.
