dave mcbride Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 right, but for number of sacks as a volume stat, they had less plays run against them, so looking at their sack rate per pass attempt is more meaningful. thats all. Maybe they had fewer plays run against them because it was so hard to get passing first downs because of how good their CB play was? I mean, there's a reason that GB didn't throw against him all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
