The API response contains an array (of games?), therefore you must select which (game?) to pull the tackle from. If you would just like to use the first (game?) the following code should suit your needs:

$url = "http://api.suredbits.com/nfl/v0/stats/brown/zach";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$json_data = json_decode($json, true);
echo  $json_data[0]["defense"]["tackle"];

The value tackle is within another object defence so you should try

echo  $json_data[0]["defence"]["tackle"];
