Yes he had good numbers by the end of the season, but Peppers played horrible and acted like a little prick throughout the first half of the season because he was so bitter about being tagged. He really poured it on late later in the season, I think a big game against NYG in particular inflate his stats. But his 10.5 total sacks, though seeming impressive written here, do not really portray his actual (lack of) effort that year.
