Avril, who ranks third in the NFL with 7.5 sacks, picked up 6.5 of those in October, and also forced three fumbles, two of which led to Seahawks touchdowns. Avril knocked the ball away from Saints running back Mark Ingram in last week’s loss at New Orleans, and safety Earl Thomas recovered and scored from 34-yards out. Earlier in the month, Avril had a sack and forced fumble against Atlanta that set up a Seahawks score in a win over the Falcons.


In addition to his standout play earning Avril accolades, those sacks have also helped support a good cause, with Avril pledging to fund a new home in Haiti for every sack this season. Avril is also hosting an online auction to raise money that will help those affected by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti.

Yeah, this could be a Pro Bowl year for him. He's raising eyebrows.

Glad Cliff's finally getting some respect outside of Seattle, good for him, and hope it continues.

Glad Avril getting some recognition finally, he's more driven than ever this season and all for good reason. I hope he gets over 20 sacks, and maybe a few more sack fumble would be nice. He's got to be in the Pro Bowl this year.

I remember when we signed him and everyone was saying he wasn't going to be as effective here because Suh wasn't here to draw double teams. He has been very effective here in Seattle.
