Any idea why the NFL stops the clock on a sack?

Now the clock is not stopped on sacks during the last two minutes of each half.

It was stopped yesterday in the last minute of the Dallas Philly game. Rule might have been changed again.

Thing is, the reasoning is inconsistent. Same play, no sack, but safety valve dump off to back who is immediately stuffed. Clock keeps on running and receivers are likely farther downfield. Oh, well.
