You sack the quarterback or you are sacking the quarterback.
The "pocket" is a horseshoe shaped area formed by offensive linemen that drop back and protect the quarterback during a pass play. In theory, if the quarterback remains within the pocket, he will have sufficient time to find a receiver and throw a pass. If defensive players penetrate the pocket before the pass is thrown, the quarterback is either sacked or forced to run out of the pocket...and then he's on his own.
Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 50 times in 2009. Ben was the only quarterback to get sacked during the season for the Steelers.
As of the 2007 season, the quarterback who was sacked the most times in a season was David Carr of the Houston Texans who was sacked 76 times in 2002.
That would be John Elway, sacked 516 times in his career.
Matt Cassel, sacked 47 times in 2008.

Ben Roethlisberger was sacked around 50 times I believe...
A whole team cannot get sacked, but a quarterback behind the line of scrimmage can. The Colts quarterback, Peyton Manning, was sacked a total of zero times in the 2010 super Bowl.
