The Minnesota Vikings are currently leading the NFL in sacks (44), despite the fact that no single player on the team has more than 6 sacks.

DJ Wonnum & Danielle Hunter are tied for the team lead with 6 sacks each, while Eric Kendricks/Armon Watts/Everson Griffen all have 5 followed by a handful of others with 1-3 each. Most of the teams near the top of the league are led by a DE/LB well into double digits. Only 4 other teams (Atlanta/Jacksonville/Buffalo/Denver) have a leading sacker with fewer than 6.

With just 3 games left, the Vikings are actually in play to challenge a super bowl era record: excluding the strike shortened 1982 season (where just 9 games were played), only 1 other team has ever led the league in sacks without having a single player get 10+: the 2005 Seattle Seahawks had 50 sacks, led by Bryce Fisher with just 9. If Minnesota can manage to keep up their team pace without Wonnum or Watts going on an individual tear, they could break Seattle's record for lowest individual sack total while leading the league as a team.

(note: player sacks from pre-1982 are based on Pro Football Reference's "official" unofficial totals)
