What do you consider a sack?

Obviously if the qb is sacked behind line of scrimmage it is a sack, but what if it is AT the los?

I ask because in a few of the different leagues I am in they mostly use nfl scoring, which is calling it a sack for 0 yard lose, but I have a pay for league on a site I pay to run the league on, and they are NOT calling ti a sac since it didn't account in a loss of yards.

Now it's only a point and doesn't make a difference in the outcome of the game, but I know someone will cry foul once they see it.

What do you think?


I am inclined to leave as is, fanball scoring is what we use and that is what they show.

Thats what I think to, but when you go to nfl.com which is the final point of record for most fantasy leagues it credited them with a sack.

See the carolina vs giants box score

They go back and review all the games though.

Cause I know you can be credited with a sack...and then a week later they take it away if it didn't go for a loss.

but for fantasy purposes they don't change it. I already know I will have a couple of owners question it.

But I am correct in saying it must be for a loss to be a sack right? if it's for no gain or no loss it's just a tackle right?

i run a league and they have changed things at least twice this season..they'll go in and actually take points away...but yeah a sack is loss otherwise just a tackle
