Top 3 NFL Stats Leaders After Week 17: Sacks
#3 (T3) - Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns, 15 sacks
Next up on our list of NFL stats leaders in sacks is Myles Garrett, who is tied for third place with Nick Bosa. Similar to Bosa, he also did not record a single sack in the Browns' last game against the Steelers. But his form has been the iffiest among all NFL stats leaders in sacks, since he has not recorded a single sack in the last few weeks stretching back to their games against the Packers and the Raiders.
He has 15 sacks for 85 yards and 16 total tackles for a loss this season. He has 50 tackles for the season, 32 unassisted and 18 assisted. One of those solo tackles was recorded this week. He has three pass deflections and is the only one on the NFL stats leaders list in sacks to have a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a fumbled return for a touchdown.
#2 - Robert Quinn, Chicago Bears, 18 sacks
For a brief moment this week, Robert Quinn led the charts for NFL stats leaders in sacks as the Chicago Bears played before the Pittsburgh Steelers. Robert Quinn recorded one sack this game, and this continued a fine form where he last had a game without a sack in October. That put him on 18 sacks in total and had pushed him up to first place before the ranked-one person put in a game for the ages to take that spot back.
For those 18 sacks, Quinn has recorded 130 yards and 17 tackles for loss. He has a total of 48 tackles, 38 of which are solo and 10 are assisted. While he does not have pass deflections or interceptions, he has recorded four forced fumbles as well.
#1 - TJ Watt, Pittsburgh Steelers, 21.5 sacks
The undisputed leader of NFL stats leaders in sacks is TJ Watt. Not only does he retain his top spot from last week, he has now pulled clear of the chasing pack of NFL stats leaders in sacks. Against the Cleveland Browns, he registed four sacks and two pass deflections.
With this all-round excellent performance, Watt moved to 21.5 sacks in total for 109 yards and 20 tackles for a loss. He has 45 tackles solo, the most among all NFL stats leaders in sacks listed this week, and 14 assisted tackles. He also has six pass deflections, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
Right now, he's competing with history. He hopes to break the record for the most sacks in a season, which is 22.5 and belongs to Michael Strahan.
