We still have 3 weeks left in the season, and the sack leaders are already ahead of the totals for the 2007 season.
Joey Porter already has 16.5 sacks -- 1.5 more than Jared Allen led the NFL with in 2007.
The top 3 have 47.5, well ahead of the 43.0 posted by the top 3 last year.
And the top 8 have 97.5, compared to 94.0 last year.
With 3 more games left, we're going to blow last year's numbers out of the water. If Football Mogul produced these sack numbers, it would probably be reported as a bug.
So, what gives? Have defensive strategies changed? Or are the official scorers just being nicer about awarding sacks to the guys with the best reputations?
