Team Effort Sets Sack Mark

The most remarkable statistic to come from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 15-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday was the six sacks recorded by the home team's defense. Six sacks in one game is not in itself a remarkable number – it's been done 16 times this season, and in fact Atlanta's Adrian Clayborn did it all by himself on Sunday – but it represented a dramatic improvement for Tampa Bay's defense. The Buccaneers came into the weekend with just eight sacks through its first eight games, an NFL low.

Moreover, what makes that six-sack effort unique in franchise history is that it involved six different players, each getting exactly one sack.
