Some facts about the sack. That makes me smile when I say that.
Probability of going to playoffs if you register 40 or more sacks in the regular season: 67%
If you have less than 40: 25%
Sack totals of Superbowl teams past three years during regular season
2005: 50, 47
2006: 25 (Colts), 40
2007: 53, 47
Percentage of drives killed by a sack (QB sacked on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, and drive ends with FG/punt): 88%
How often a sack leads to a fumble: 17%
Broncos 2008 sack rate: 4.7%
Broncos 2007 sack rate: 7.2%
Average team sack rate: 7%
2007 Giants, SB XLII winners: 10.1%
2006 Colts in playoffs, XLI winners: 7.0%, but avg'd 2 picks a game
2005 Stillers, XL winners: 8.6%
Hey, the Colts did it...maybe there's hope
