The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the regular-season finale with 52 sacks, holding a five-sack lead on the next-closest team. They picked up three more against the Baltimore Ravens, which was actually a bit less than anticipated, and only one was from T.J. Watt, though it was enough to tie the all-time single-season sack record.
The Minnesota Vikings put up seven sacks in their finale, but they still fell four short of Pittsburgh, and they were the closest team. The Los Angeles Rams finished with one fewer than the Vikings, at 50. That means the Steelers led the NFL in sacks in 2021 with 55.
