QB Sack (Count) - NFL Advanced Stats

What Are QB Sacks?

QB Sack (Count) records the total number of times a quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage on a pass play. This NFL player stat is a basic yet critical NFL advanced stat for assessing pass protection breakdowns and quarterback mobility. High sack counts can limit offensive production and increase injury risk. In NFL team stats, sack counts help identify blocking issues, scheme limitations, or quarterback decision-making problems.
