Tackle Made
Successfully stopping the ball carrier and bringing them to ground or holding them.
What to Look For
Record every tackle your players make. In Pro mode, you can add a second tackler for assist tackles. Only count tackles where the carrier is stopped — if they offload or break free, it's not a completed tackle.
Best Practices
Tackle count alone doesn't tell the full story — a team making 200 tackles may be defending too much. Combine with tackle success % and dominant tackles for a complete picture. Forwards typically make 10-15 tackles per game; backs 5-10.
