Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Caps off season with another sack
Tuipulotu record two tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in the 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
In one of the biggest breakouts of the entire 2025 season, the third-year pass rusher built upon his excellent campaign with a first-half sack of Drake Maye. The 2023 second-round pick had quietly become one of the team's most important players last year, but Tuipulotu took it to another level (13.0 sacks) in his third season, emerging as easily the team's most consistent pass rusher even despite Khalil Mack missing five games this year. The 24-year-old will enter the final year of his rookie contract next year and figures to be a candidate for a massive extension this offseason.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Healthy inactive for Week 18
Tuipulotu (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Denver.
Tuipulotu will join multiple key starters on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale as the Chargers gear up for their postseason run. Bud Dupree, Odafe Oweh and Kyle Kennard are in line to see more defensive snaps in the absence of Tuipulotu, who will end the 2025 regular season with 49 tackles (35 solo), including a career-high 13.0 sacks, three pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 games.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Adds to sack total in Week 16 win
Tuipulotu registered four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Tuipulotu got to Dak Prescott for a six-yard sack on the final play of the first half, and the former scooped up his first fumble of the season late in the fourth. Tuipulotu has accumulated 5.0 sacks across the four games since the Chargers' Week 12 bye, and his 13.0 sacks (across 15 regular-season games) are tied with Danielle Hunter for third most in the NFL behind Myles Garrett (22.0) and Brian Burns (15.0). Tuipulotu will look to add to his total against the Texans on Saturday, who are dealing with injuries to starting offensive tackles Aireontae Ersery (hand) and Trent Brown (knee).

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Two more sacks in victory
Tuipulotu recorded four tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in the Chargers' win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
It's been a true breakout season for Tuipulotu, who was the 54th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He sacked Patrick Mahomes (knee) twice in the first half Sunday and has now produced 43 tackles (32 solo), including a career-high 12.0 sacks, 21 QB hits, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles on 76 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps across 14 games this season. Only Myles Garrett (21.5), Brian Burns (13.0), Micah Parsons (12.5) and Nik Bonitto (12.5) have logged more sacks this season.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Gets to quarterback Thursday
Tuipulotu recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings.
Minnesota quarterback Carson Wentz was sacked five times in Week 8, and Tuipulotu got in on the action in the second half for his sixth sack of the season, beating left tackle Justin Skule with a swim move. He should get some chances to pin his ears back again in Week 9 against a pass-happy Tennessee offense.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Silent in Sunday's loss
Tuipulotu did not record any stats in 48 defensive snaps and two special teams snaps during Sunday's 27-10 loss versus the Commanders.
Fresh off a game against the Giants in which he piled up four sacks, Tuipulotu was invisible in Week 5, failing to record a tackle for the first time this season. He'll look to bounce back in a Week 6 matchup against a pass-happy Miami team.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Constantly in backfield
Tuipulotu recorded 10 tackles (seven solo), including 4.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.
Tuipulotu logged a career-high 10 tackles, with his previous career best being seven. He was also constantly in the backfield, taking down Jaxson Dart four times in his first career start under center. Tuipulotu has improved in every season as a pro and could be on his way to his first double-digit sack campaign.
