Once upon a time in 2022 it was the Cowboys who led the league in sacks. However, after a few down weeks from Dallas, the Eagles have taken over the top spot with 55 sacks. That’s six more than the Cowboys, who are now in second place with 49.
Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers led the NFL in sacks with 55, and no team has reached 60 since the 2013 Carolina Panthers.
The Eagles’ pressure has been good all season, but has been ridiculously nasty in the last three weeks, adding 19 sacks to their total. Few teams in league history can match that total over three games and it’s better than two defenses totals for the year.

Philadelphia has five players with at least six sacks, two with 10+ and two more who could wind up with 10 or more on the season.
The defense pressures the QB from all positions as well. Linebacker Haason Reddick leads the team with 12 sacks, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has 10, while defensive ends Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham have 9.5 and 8.5, respectively.
Dallas’ offensive line didn’t allow a sack in the first matchup, the only time the Eagles’ pass rush was shut out this season. Let’s see if they are able to stay stout in Week 16.
