& he's stopped behind the LOS is it a sack? The MNF radio team described a play by Russell Wilson as a run and also said that it was Detroit's 5th sack of the night because he lost a yard on the play.

Yes that is a sack. If however it is directly snapped to a non-QB I have never heard it being called a snap nor on a reverse so it is inconsistency. Slash for Steelers used to get ball as part of double reverse and if caught behind line defense was credited for a sack.

It's only not a sack on a designed run.

Even if it's a designed run, if the QB is the one with the ball and he's tackled behind the LOS, it's still a sack correct?

I believe that to be true. Any tackle by a QB behind the LOS is a sack. But what the hell do I know.

Designed runs are treated as rushes for QBs. For example, you'll see kneel downs rung up as rushes not sacks. Sometimes the stats guy has to make a judgement.
