After 8 games, the Bills are ranked 27th in sacks.

The top 6 teams in sacks so far are:

1. Denver
2. New England
3. St. Louis
4. Carolina
5. Cincinnati
6. Green Bay

That looks pretty damn convincing after 8 games.

What happened in past years?

12 years and the average sack ranking for Championship teams is 10th.

Are sacks overrated? I don't think so.

8 out of the last 12 Super Bowl Champions (67%) had a top 10 sack defense.

Didn't work out to well for us last year.

They didn't have a quarterback. Doesn't matter how good the rest of the team is if the QB sucks.
