Below we take a look at the NFL Team Sacks Leaders for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. One thing that is certain is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have a dominant pass rushing defense. The Steelers have lead the NFL in Sacks since the 2017 season, and yes that is 5 seasons in a row. Will the Steelers be able to extend their sack lead to 6 seasons?
The LA Rams, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the other teams that are consistently in the Top 10. Will one of these teams pass the Steelers in 2022?
