Sacks are drive killers. Not only does a sack result in lost yardage, but it also results in a loss of a down and allows the clock to continue. Because of this, we explore which teams have been the best at protecting their quarterback this season, using the same formula as our pass block grades on a team scale. As a reminder, the formula for pressure score against is 3(sacks allowed)+2(hits allowed)+pressures allowed while the formula for points per pass rush against is pressure score against/pass block snaps.
