Best Answer

A sack is when the quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage before he can throw a forward pass/lateral. Tackling the quarterback behind the lime of scrimmage on a running play is not considered a sack.

If a quarterback gets tackled behind the line of scrimmage after fumbling is it a sack?

Former NFL lineman Deacon Jones invented the term when at the time the NFL didn't track sack stats. If they did it would probably be revealed that Deacon is the all time sack leader. It comes from the fact that SACKING a city is just as devastating to the city as a QB being tackled is to the offense.

Foreward lateral pass from quarterback to receiver for the touchdown, rush play from the fullback or halfback for the score, quarterback scramble or sneak for the score, defensive interception ran back for the score (pick 6), fumble recovery for the score.

If a Quarterback is sacked in his end zone does the other team receive possession of the ball and 2 points?

The other team would only get the ball under certain conditions. If the quarterback was sacked on the 4th down, then the opposing team would get the ball. That is not due to the sacking, however, it is due to the fact that you only get 4 downs to gain 10 yards before a turnover. If a quarterback is tackled and fumbles the ball, the other team can get the ball, but the quarterback will not be considered sacked.
