Question about DB's Sack Yesterday

[Boca Vol]

The QB's knee was very close to being on the ground when DB got to him. Would he have gotten credit for the sack anyway if his knee touched the ground?

Thank you both! That would have really stunk had he not gotten credit for it.

It counts as a sack for Barnett because his pressure is what caused the QB's knee to hit the ground. It's different than if a QB gives himself up or takes a knee which go into the stats as a negative rush

Remember when Bret Favre basically took a. Dive in front of Michael Strahan to give him the sack record? It counts if the QB goes down under pressure to the nearest defensive player.

DB should have had 2 sacks. The one where DB got to the QB just as he was getting ready to throw was a fumble if you watch the replay in slow motion. Derek's helmet actually hit the ball and knocked it out of the QBs hand. The refs called it an incomplete pass though and replay let it stand.
