He's taken 32 sacks this season.
But be careful when you hear 5th most sacked QB. QBs with extremely high sack rates also have higher injury rates (for all the obvious reasons), and thus tend to play on fewer plays and consequently have fewer total sacks.
So where "Washington QB" has taken 32 sacks, note that:
Kansas City QB has taken 32 sacks
Oakland QB has taken 32 sacks (and they run 75% of the time)
Jacksonville QB has taken 33 sacks
Minnesota QB has taken 33 sacks
Pittsburgh QB has taken 37 sacks (including 5 by our DL)
St. Louis QB has taken 37 sacks
New England QB has taken 40 sacks
Cincinnati QB has taken 43 sacks
San Francisco QB has taken 43 sacks
Detroit QB has taken 45 sacks
Overall, when you consider that we've faced all the best teams at sacking the QB, our Adjusted Sack Rate comes out to 6.5%, which is the league average.
This is partly because the OL isn't quite as horrible as the rap on them is, part because Portis is a monster in pass protection, but mostly because Campbell spent most of the first half of the year making people miss clean in the backfield, and creating big plays off of them.
