BALTIMORE, Maryland – Kyle Van Noy needed half a sack to earn a $250,000 bonus in the Ravens final game. The former BYU linebacker burst into the backfield late in the first quarter, spinning Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson to the ground before celebrating with a motion as if to say, ‘Pay me!’

Van Noy can earn another quarter-million dollars with another 1.5 sacks tonight.

Van Noy seems to have located the fountain of youth, leading to his career-high 12.5 sacks in his 11th season in the league. In his second season with playoff-bound Baltimore, Van Noy has started 12 of 15 games, accumulating 38 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, and 20 QB hits.

 

The September NFL Defensive Player of the Month has been in at least 13 games each year since 2017. He has played 157 games coming into the night.

Baltimore leads the Cleveland Browns 14-0 midway through the second quarter. A win would clinch the three-seed in the AFC for the Ravens.

About Kyle Van Noy

After a standout career at BYU, Van Noy was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Following two and a half seasons with Detroit, the linebacker was traded to New England. Van Noy played the next three and a half seasons with the Patriots and helped New England win a pair of Super Bowls.

After the 2019 season, the linebacker signed with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins released Van Noy after one season in South Beach, and he returned to New England on a two-year deal. The 2021 season was the lone year of Van Noy’s second stint with the Patriots.

Van Noy signed with the Los Angeles Chargers in May 2022.

The linebacker recorded 46 total tackles, 30 solo tackles, five sacks, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and three pass breakups during the regular season. In Los Angeles’ postseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Van Noy had three total tackles, two solo tackles, and a pass breakup.

After one year in Los Angeles, Van Noy joined the Ravens.

Following his first season in Baltimore, Van Noy built his career totals to 500 total tackles, 338 solo tackles, 42.5 sacks, 12 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries, three interceptions, one touchdown, and 33 pass breakups. He’s played in 142 games in his career.
