Giants’ once-NFL-leading sack pace is grinding to a halt

ARLINGTON, Texas — All along, it did not feel like the Giants’ success on defense, specifically with their pᴀss rush, was going to be sustainable.

As it turns out, it was not.

They led the NFL in sacks through the first eight games with 35. Dexter Lawrence was the league leader through seven games with nine sacks. The defense was not able to keep up that pace, and the Giants have only one sack in their past three games.

Dexter Lawrence II walks off the field after the Giants’ 27-22 loss to the Commanders earlier in the season.

Lawrence, with double- and triple-team blocking against him, does not have a sack in his past four games. As a result, the Giants have dropped to fourth in the league in team sacks with 36 — behind the Broncos (44), Texans (42) and Vikings (38).

The Cowboys, using Dak Prescott and now Cooper Rush at quarterback, have allowed 30 sacks this season, 13th-most in the league.
