Q – Ray, if a quarterback is sacked in his own end zone is the yardage lost from the line of scrimmage to the goal line OR from where he is brought down? For example, QB sacked for 9 yard loss from his own 1 yard line: 1 yard sack OR 9yard sack?
A – If a player is tackled in the end zone, on any play from scrimmage, he is only credited with a loss that would take him to the goal line. So, in the example above, it would be scored as a one-yard sack.
