What makes a top defensive line in the NFL and could it be the Jacksonville Jaguars Can they be if they can’t stop the run?
At their current pace the Jaguars have a chance to break the record set by the Chicago Bears in 1984 who had a whopping 72 sacks that season. That’s pretty eye-popping. They certainly have the best pass rush but they cannot be considered the best defensive line if they can’t stop the run.
For instance, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive line is considered to have the best front four and although the Eagles don’t have as many sacks, you can’t run on them, so this forces teams to call a one-dimensional game.
