Julius Peppers shrugs off upcoming milestone, says he wants to win

Posted Sep 15, 2017
Julius Peppers is on the verge of joining some elite company — although the 37-year-old defensive end seemingly couldn't care less. Peppers picked up a half-sack in his first game back with the Panthers last Sunday and now has 144 for his career, inching closer to joining Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Kevin Greene and Chris Doleman as the only players in NFL history with 150 career sacks.
