sacks are removed from his rushing totals, as well as taking a knee.

I didn't think that sounded right, so I did a little looking around. Someone like Favre even has 40 yards rushing. I didn't think that would be possible if sacks were subtracted. Here's some discussion on it, apparently it changed in 1947.
