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:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/defense/sort/sacks

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,
could you find me the right list so I can edit it?

I do believe you have the wrong stat line there for sacks. I don't know exactly which one your using, but if I had to guess, its showing how many sacks those teams have given up on offense. No way jaguars have 50 sacks!

Here is the correct one with Denver at the top:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/defense/sort/sacks

1. Denver 52
2. St. Louis 52
3. Cincinnati 51
4.Green Bay 47
5.Minnesota 44
6.Houston 44
7.Miami 42
8.Chicago 41
9.Tennessee 39
10.Carolina 39

Ugh, another overrated Steelers defense that the media loves to talk about being THE BEST DEFENSE IN FOOTBALL when they just really aren't.

Maybe it's just me but I haven't heard anybody refer that to Pittsburgh in a while. Same with Baltimore as well.

Speaking on this year of course.

[The_Wise_One]

Got to witness that Rams pass rush this week. Man they are fast. NFC West is becoming the best conference for defense.

Any time you watch a Steelers game you have to listen to the commentators drone on about the NUMBER ONE DEFENSE IN FOOTBALL.

That NUMBER ONE DEFENSE is aging, and aging fast.
