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?
The Patriots ranked 27th in sacks last year and won the Super Bowl.

New Orleans ranked 22nd.

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.
