Patriots' Jahlani Tavai: Helps create turnover Sunday
Tavai recorded five tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts.
Teammate Christian Elliss was credited with the interception, but it was Tavai who started the tip drill on an Anthony Richardson pass over the middle that led to a turnover in the first quarter in Week 13. Tavai is on pace for a career year going into the Patriots' bye in Week 14.

Tavai recorded eight total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins.
The 28-year-old tied Marcus Jones as the Patriots' leading tackler Sunday and has now accumulated a team-leading 83 total tackles through 12 games. Tavai is on pace for the best statistical season of his career in 2024, as he is likely to surpass his previous highs of 110 total tackles and five passes defended before the season concludes.

Patriots' Jahlani Tavai: Notches first sack of 2024
Tavai posted nine tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
The Patriots sacked Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams a whopping nine times, and Tavai got in on the action with his first sack of the season. The 2019 second-round pick has averaged 6.8 tackles per game this season, and he'll certainly continue to have viability as he approaches a second straight 100-tackle campaign.

Patriots' Jahlani Tavai: Agrees to three-year extension
Tavai and the Patriots agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year extension with a $15 million base value, and that can reach $21 million with incentives, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Tavai has entrenched himself as a key member of New England's starting linebacker corps, playing a hybrid ILB/OLB role that saw him record 110 tackles, two interceptions and a sack in 17 games last season. He now joins DT Christian Barmore, RB Rhamondre Stevenson and C David Andrews as players who were entering the final year of their contracts but have re-signed under new coach Jerod Mayo. Tavai is well positioned to repeat as a worthwhile fantasy option in IDP formats in new defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington's scheme.
