FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons defensive line coach Bryan Cox doesn’t get too caught up in statistics, but he admitted the 20 sacks recorded by the team through nine games -- one more sack than last season’s league-low total -- has brought about a significant change.
"It’s nice because it stops the media from talking about it," Cox said with sarcasm. "But that ain’t never been my motivation. Our motivation, it’s always been about getting the quarterback off the spot."
The Falcons have figured out how to consistently generate pressure, led by Vic Beasley Jr.
