What an epic post.

I thought TFLs only represented tackling ball carrier other than QB.

Sacks and tackles are separate stats and have been since forever.

TFL and tackles fall under the same category and indeed, a TFL is on a running/pass play once the QB has given the ball to another player, while a sack is tackling the QB behind the LOS, on a designed pass play.

Playing videogames helps, as the stats are recorded like in the NFL.
