Split it any way you want, the fact of the matter is that this Pittsburgh Steelers defense has greatly improved its ability to turn pressure in sacks this year in comparison to the last several seasons. With their three sacks yesterday, they have reached 38 on the season, which is more than they have reached in a season since 2010.
With three games left the play, the Steelers remain on pace to finish with approximately 46-47 sacks, averaging slightly less than three sacks per game. While the sack total has skewed in the favor of home games—they have recorded five or more sacks in a game three times at home this year—their game today was on the road.
