Some NFL sackers crossword clue
75 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 28, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Some NFL sackers” is DTS. It appears as 75 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 28, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Set Piece” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 14, column 1 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with D and ends with S, and contains 0 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
Past appearances
DTS has not appeared as an answer in any other WSJ puzzle in our index, which runs from May 2026 onward. It will be listed here the next time it turns up.
