Let's say Hendrickson got 5 pressures, 1 sack and 1 tackle for no gain in 40 pass rushing sets (I'm not saying those numbers are correct, but they're probably not far off). To your typical fan, that's a really good day and we would say that Hendrickson dominated Sewell.

But to PFF, that is 7 bad plays and 33 good plays by Sewell. Plus, they probably didn't attribute the sack to Sewell because it was technically the TE that gave up the sack, if I recall correctly.

That makes sense.
