In Football, when the quarterback is tackled before they can throw the ball, it’s called getting “sacked.” Getting sacked is a bad thing because it means that they lose yards (they are farther away from the goal) and they lose a chance to advance the ball.

The National Football League (NFL) is divided into two different conferences (groups of teams), the NFC and the AFC. Below are the number of times the quarterbacks were sacked during the regular 2021 season for every football team in the AFC and NFC.
