The Steelers Sack Goal? Just Keep It Under 50

Related Topics: Russell Wilson

We’ve spent the offseason talking about the things Russell Wilson and/or Justin Fields need to avoid. Negative plays. Turnovers are the most costly, but sacks are right behind. And no quarterbacks get taken down as often as Wilson and Fields. Since Wilson came into the league in 2012, no one has been sacked more than him. Since Fields came into the league in 2021, no one has been sacked more than him.

Previously, we’ve written about how quicker snap-to-throw times will cut down on those sacks. But that still seems vague and not a repeatable, season-long goal to track.
