Eagles defense close to topping sack record set by vaunted 1984 Bears

With two regular-season games remaining, the Philadelphia Eagles are on the cusp of breaking an impressive defensive NFL record. 

Entering Week 17, the Eagles are only 12 sacks away from topping the 1984 Chicago Bears (72) for the most in a single season. 

As Chris Franklin of nj.com pointed out, 12 may be too steep a hill to climb in two games, but the Eagles have already proven capable of that kind of output this season.
