What Pass sacked perc is

Sack rate: sacks taken divided by dropbacks (pass attempts plus sacks), as a percentage. The rate version of sacks, so a pass-heavy team is not punished for volume — it is the share of dropbacks that ended in a sack.

Lower is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.

In 2025 the Broncos led at 3.46; the league average was 6.40.
