When a player gets a sack is the sack considereda tackle also, like a one for two?

I look at this as "a sack" is a subdivision of the "tackles" category. Just like "Tackles for loss" is a subdivision of "tackles". To answer your question, yes a sack is considered a tackle.

 

If a player has:

2 sacks

4 tackles for a loss

8 tackles

 

That means he has 8 total tackles and 2 of those 8 were sacks, and 4 of those 8 were for a loss, and 2 of those for a lose were sacks. But, still his total tackles for the game remains 8.

Does a sack count as a tackle also?

I believe it does, it's a tackle of the Qb.

Great explanation Ram, I never realized that and always thought that the sack was separate from tackles.

As I understand it, Ram is correct.
