Sacks without a box score

There is no official box score for these seasons, so this sack count comes from the play-by-play.

2015: 1.5 sacks

How we counted this

Each sack is credited to the player named on the play, and a sack shared by two players counts as half for each. We checked the same method against the official box scores for 2016 to 2019: it lands within half a sack for about 9 in 10 players. Tackles and passes defended are not shown for these seasons because the same check does not hold for them. Source: SportsDataverse play data.
