description

Quickly becoming one of the NFL's most prolific young edge defenders, George Karlaftis put together one of the best performances of his NFL career in Kansas City's Divisional Round matchup against the Texans on Jan. 18, 2025. Though he tallied three sacks on the day and four total quarterback hits, none were more impactful than this one on a crucial fourth down in the fourth quarter, where he chased down the opposing quarterback and brought him to the turf to give the ball back to the Chiefs offense with about 10 minutes to go. With Karlaftis' help, the Chiefs would go on to beat the Texans, 23-14, to move on to their seventh-straight AFC Championship Game.
