From the 1988 game against the Detroit Lions at the Pontiac Silver Dome, Hall of Fame Linebacker Rickey Jackson had 4 sacks – 1 a safety of Lions quarterback Chuck Long – in the 22-14 New Orleans Saints win. Fellow Dome Patrol member Vaughan Johnson added another to give the Saints a total of 5 on the day. The victory was the second of what would be a 7 game-winning streak that season as the Saints would finish with 10 wins overall but would fail to make the playoffs.
Jackson would share the team’s sack lead with Pat Swilling. Both finished with 7 on the year.
