If you're surprised by Adrian Clayborn's six-sack performance against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, you're not alone.
Even the Atlanta Falcons defensive end was astonished by his stats.
"I only have one move and it worked," Clayborn said after the game, per Alex Makrides of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith missed the game with groin and back issues, and Clayborn took advantage of Smith's replacement, Chaz Green, all afternoon.
Clayborn entered the game with two sacks after eight games. He's never topped two sacks in one game in his entire seven-year career.

In fact, the 2011 first-round draft pick is generally regarded as a bust. But on Sunday, Clayborn busted through for a career day.
"They chipped me some and it hurt," he said. "I definitely felt it and when they didn't I took advantage of it."
