PFF: The Overrated Sack

Sacks are drive killers, field goal range killers, most teams with high sack counts make the playoff's, teams that don't, they usually have high takeaways.

However

In today's NFL, you need to play good redzone defense, get off the field on 3rd downs, get turnovers. You don't NEED a 40+ sack defense, but you have to get pressure enough to get teams off the field on 3rd down or force teams into field goals.
