When the Pittsburgh Steelers defense sacked Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss, I initially thought that linebacker James Harrison was going to be credited with a half a sack on the play and thus tie Jason Gildon for the all-time franchise sack record. That of course didn’t happen as the league’s official scorer at the game credited defensive end Stephon Tuitt with a full sack on the play.
The Elias Sports Bureau looked at that sack this past week to see if a scoring change was in order and ultimately decided that the initial ruling was correct.
