The Jets defense was surprisingly good despite losing Revis and being on the field for 3/4ths of the game

Sacks are how many the team takes and not how many they have.

Don't think so.

The list you posted is sacks allowed, not sacks recorded.

For example, look at the Cardinals:

http://www.nfl.com/teams/arizonacard...stics?team=ARI

Their awful offensive line lead the league with 58 sacks allowed, but their defense only recorded 38 sacks themselves.

Here is the correct list of defensive sack leaders:

Denver 52.0
St. Louis 52.0
Cincinnati 51.0
Green Bay 47.0
Minnesota 44.0
Houston 44.0
Miami 42.0
Chicago 41.0
Tennessee 39.0
Carolina 39.0

Actually I think there's some glitch on the NFL website. Check ESPN:

Oh,
