It’s definitely foolish to read anything at all into any preseason stats but I thought it was worth pointing out to everyone that the Pittsburgh Steelers defense did finish tops in the NFL in sacks this year with 20.
Finishing right behind the Steelers were the Cleveland Browns with 19 sacks and the New England Patriots finished third with 18 sacks.
Steelers rookie outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper finished the 2019 preseason as the NFL leader in sacks with five. Below is a breakdown of the other Steelers 2019 preseason sacks and finishing behind Skipper with two sacks each were inside linebacker Robert Spillane, outside linebacker Bud Dupree and defensive end Stephon Tuitt.
