Question about NFL sacks before 1982

In 2021, the NFL made all NFL sacks official from 1981 and before. 1982 was the 1st year they started recording sacks, so before 2021 they were considered unofficial. So my question is, is there a website where I can look up a players sack for certain games that happened during that timeframe?

That site doesn't have sack stats for games pre 1982.

I'm looking for what games when these players got credited with the sacks? So far, I can only see the totals but I would like to know when these sacks occured. For example: In what game did Alan Page and LC Greenwood get their last sack? Both players retired in 1981.

before the NFL counted sacks no sacks happened.
tackling people is basic stuff , they should stop counting sacks as though they are special

I just randomly googled a Minnesota vs Green Bay game from 1979, Pro Football reference and the only defensive stats they have is interceptions that I could see
I think any tackle in the backfield should be regarded equally. whether it is a QB, RB or WR.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Sack to the QB is different. Can be an instant game changer.
I guess its a secret when all those players recorded the sacks.
