Strongest receipts
The Pittsburgh Steelers allowed a sack on 8.1% of dropbacks (17 sacks on 211 dropbacks), 7th-highest of 32 teams, in their last 5 completed games (Sep 20 – Oct 18, 2026).
Best material caveat: Sacks are shared between protection, scheme, receivers and the quarterback. This is a team number.
