Sacks are one of footballs best moments because there never expected. A sack is when the quarter back gets tackled behind the line of scrimage with the football. The amout of yards tackled backwards counts as negitive passing yardage for the team but not the player. For example, in 1993 John Elway, the ex QB for the denver broncos, accumalated a total of 4030 passing yards. Where as denver had a total of 4061 passing yardage. now if John Elway was tackled 10 yards behind the line of scrimage his passing yards would stay the same but the broncos passing yards would drop to 4051 yards.
In this video, recorded in 1986 between the University Of Alabama (red and white) vs the University Of Notre Dame (gold and white) you see a great sack by Cornelius Bennet to Notre Dames QB Steve Beuerlein.
At the end of the video you see a painting. This is a verry well known painting rightfully named "The Sack". Steve Beuerlein says that he has a big oil painting of "The Sack" in his living room right above his couch.
This is a video of Mario williams making some amazing sacks throughout his career in college and NFL. Mario Williams played college football for 3 consecutive years before being drafted into the NFL in 2006.
