Though Hitchens (and the rest of the defense) was able to dominate an offensively inept Denver team, these were only his first two sacks on the year. In fact, Hitchens' hadn't recorded a sack since the 2016 season in which he played for the Cowboys. Consider this as more of an anomalous blip until he establishes some consistency.

Hitchens came into the contest as a game-time decision with a ribs injury but his toughness was on full display against the Browns.

He will likely be limited in practice again during the week leading up to Week 10’s contest against the Cardinals.
