I know PFF uses their own numbers, but I don't know where the NFL numbers come from. The NFL stats tackle counts used to be tabulated by home team scorers, and some scorers were very generous with counting assists. The end result was that their team's tackle numbers were inflated.

Like Baltimore crediting Ray Lewis with a tackle every time he dove on a pile after the whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
