# Tackle missed

When a player attempts to make a tackle but does not successfully contact and bring down the attacker.

## How it's identified

* The defender clearly attempts to tackle (reaches, wraps, or shoots in).
* The defender fails to stop or bring down the ball carrier when it would be reasonable to expect the tackle to be made.

## Notes

* A defender who could not complete the tackle because of an obstruction is not counted as a missed tackle.
* A hold-up (carrier stopped upright, never brought to ground) is not a missed tackle and not a tackle either.
