I saw this article highlighting the strength of the Cowboys offensive line... the line being responsible for only 8 of the 23 sacks.
“Pro Football Focus released an interesting statistic this week, noting that the Cowboys’ offensive line allowed just eight sacks on the season, which was the best in the NFL.
Now, it should be noted that this does not mean Dak Prescott was only sacked eight times, because he was sacked 23. What it means is that 15 of those sacks were not surrendered by the offensive line itself and/or that the offensive line was not at fault for them.
It seems like a rather arbitrary statistic, but when you really take it into consideration, it’s actually pretty important. Because it demonstrates that Dallas’ offensive line remained strong point this past year.”
So, it made me wonder how the Rams were?
15 of 22. Not bad. Tie for 5th-9th.
But looking at the pressure categories (hurries, pressure) and sorting the table that way... We are 27th in overall line efficiency relative to pressure.
Obviously a spot to improve.

The PFF "Pass Blocking Efficiency" rating measures pressure allowed on a per-snap basis with weighting toward sacks allowed.
