With the NFL season winding down, we’ve reached the tail end of the races for the various statistical titles. Particularly, the race for the sack title has heated up after Khalil Mack’s five-sack effort in Week 14 put him in the lead with 14 on the season. Mack’s top competitors for the spot are the Lions Ezekiel Ansah and reining defensive player of the year J.J. Watt, each with 13.5 sacks. With an outside shot at the title are Muhammad Wilkerson (12.0) and Aaron Donald (11.0). Carlos Dunlap (10.5), Chandler Jones (10.5), and Von Miller (10.0) then round out the rest of the players with 10 or more sacks. Above is a unique visual look at how the sack race has progressed thus far this season, with players color coded by their team. It looks like we’re in for quite a finish.
