How SACK is calculated
SACK = solo sacks + 0.5 × shared sacks — which is why the leaderboard is full of half-numbers.
The sack has only been an official NFL statistic since 1982; everything before that is unofficial research, not league record.
What counts as a good SACK?
Half of the 390 qualified NFL players in 2025 were at or below 2.0. Clearing 7.0 put a season in the top tenth of the league.
