Aidan Hutchinson Tops NFL Charts in QB Pressures Ahead of Week 6
Aidan Hutchinson has made an impressive comeback after his 2024 injury and is now leading the NFL in key defensive statistics. Following a challenging start, the Detroit Lions’ rusher has regained peak form in 2025.
Aidan Hutchinson: Leading the League in QB Pressures
In his first five games of the 2025 season, Hutchinson has generated 31 total pressures on opposing quarterbacks, tying for first place in the NFL. This remarkable comeback follows a turbulent 2024 when an injury ended his promising run for Defensive Player of the Year.
Defensive Achievements in 2025
- Tied for first in total QB pressures with 31.
- Second in the league with three forced fumbles.
- Third in sacks, totaling five so far this season.
- Tied for third in quarterback hits with 12.
Hutchinson’s performance last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals extended his streak to 20 consecutive games with a quarterback hit — the longest such streak currently active in the NFL.
Upcoming Challenges in Week 6
As Hutchinson and the Lions prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, they confront a formidable challenge. The Chiefs’ offensive line has allowed just seven sacks on superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes this season.
Previous Encounter with the Chiefs
Hutchinson was a standout in the Lions’ 2023 victory over the Chiefs, leading with three quarterback hits, although he did not achieve any sacks during that game.
As Week 6 approaches, all eyes are on Hutchinson to see if he can maintain his leading form against a strong Kansas City team.
