The Kansas Chiefs on Monday applied the franchise tag on outside linebacker Justin Houston.

In his fourth season, Houston led the NFL sacks with 22 in 2014. He finished one-half sack shy of Michael Strahan’s league record.

The deadline for teams to place the franchise tag on their pending free agents is 4 p.m. ET on Monday.
