Patriots' Jahlani Tavai: Tallies seven stops in loss
Tavai recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Tavai was the Patriots' second-leading tackler in Sunday's loss, trailing just Marcus Jones' nine-stop effort. The veteran inside linebacker leads New England's defense in total tackles (75) and is second in tackles for loss (six) through the team's first 10 games. Tavai should remain busy in a Week 12 matchup against the Dolphins.

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.
