So, pretty true to his career so far, 78% of his sacks occurred when the Broncos had less than a 3 score lead.

Without knowing the stats on everyone else in similar situations, I'd say this confirms what I was thinking.
Being behind by two scores to that offense may as well be four scores. Teams aren't running the ball when they go down by 10+ points to Peyton.
That's 2/3 of his sacks coming, basically, when they knew the offense would be passing. I'd imagine the breakdown for Ware would be similar.
