Sack-seeking surge
A pass rush is the defensive effort in American football to tackle the quarterback before he can throw.
Defensive linemen and linebackers rush toward the passer, trying to force a hurried throw or sack: Their pass rush generated constant pressure.
The term also describes the players who specialize in this role: They need to improve their pass rush in the draft.
