NFL Stats Leader 2021: Who has the most sacks heading into Week 10?

Top 3 sack leaders heading into Week 10

Who are the top three sack leaders?

#3 - Harold Landry III - 9 sacks

Harold Landry III is also tied for 2nd place in the league for sacks. His 9 sacks have been accumulating week by week, where he has scored a minimum of half a sack. Simply put, Harold Landry gets after the quarterback every single week.

Landry is a big reason why this Titans defense has been so good, and they got a huge statement win last night against the Los Angeles Rams. The Titans are missing Derrick Henry, but have made up for that with their massive defensive output. Landry's consistent pressure is a big reason why the defense is constantly shutting down the highest-powered offenses in the league.

#2 - Markus Golden - 9 sacks

Coming out of nowhere to jump right into a three-way tie with Harold Landry and Matthew Judon is Markus Golden from the Arizona Cardinals. Where Chandler Jones once led the entire NFL with sacks, Golden has taken that place.

Although he has been a bit inconsistent, Golden has amassed 7 sacks in his last four games. Those are huge numbers and a big reason why the Arizona Cardinals are enjoying an 8-1 season. Their defense has been on fire lately, and Golden has become a huge reason why. His forced fumbles are tied for first. This is a man on a mission.

#1 - Myles Garrett - 12 sacks

Every single week, Garrett continually takes the top spot in sacks. Every single week, he finds ways to up his numbers. He is a monster on the field, and with 12 sacks at the halfway mark for the season, he may shatter the record.

Garrett just cannot be stopped, and if he is continually getting this many sacks every week, he should be an absolute lock for DPOTY. Michael Strahan's 22.5 are the most to happen in a season, and Garrett is only 10 short of that mark with nine games left in the season.
