What happened: The league feed credited Isaiah McGuire with another sack during Thursday night's action. Isaiah McGuire was drafted in the fourth round in 2023, 126th overall, out of Missouri. ESPN listed 30 tackles and 2 sacks for him across 17 games in 2025.

Why it matters: A player with 2 sacks over a full 17-game season does not get this kind of moment by accident. If McGuire is surfacing again as a pass-rush finisher, the idea that he is just edge depth already looks outdated.
