Queen registered seven tackles (five solo) during the Steelers' 27-22 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Queen was cleared to play after working through a glute injury during Week 14 prep. The injury didn't appear to bother him Sunday, as he played 74 of 80 defensive snaps (92.5 percent) and finished tied with Alex Highsmith for the second-most tackles on the Steelers behind Cole Holcomb (nine). Queen is up to 96 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games and should crack the 100-plus tackle mark for the fifth time in his NFL career (and for the fourth consecutive season). His next opportunity to reach that milestone is this Sunday against the Dolphins.

Hunter posted four tackles (two solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 20-10 victory over Kansas City.

Hunter was part of a ferocious Texans defense that held Patrick Mahomes in check, limiting him to a 14-of-33 passing line with three interceptions. Hunter hasn't managed a sack either of the past two weeks following a dominant three-game stretch during which he racked up 7.0 sacks, but he does have a defensed pass in each of those past two games. On the season, Hunter is at 42 tackles (including 11.0 sacks), three defensed passes and two forced fumbles through 13 contests.

Winston logged five tackles (four solo), including two tackles for a loss, and two pass defenses during the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Winston was one of six Titans defenders to play all 69 defensive snaps Sunday, and he was credited with his first two pass defenses of the year. The rookie third-rounder has stepped into a larger role on defense since the Titans' Week 10 bye, and over his last four games he has accumulated 29 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Humphrey logged four tackles (three solo) and three pass defenses during the Ravens' 27-22 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Humphrey was credited with a season-high three pass defenses Sunday, his second game with multiple defended passes this season. The veteran corner is up to 50 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight pass defenses (one interception), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery through 11 regular-season games.

Crosby posted four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Denver.

The Raiders sacked Bo Nix three times in the loss, with one of those sacks going to Crosby. The talented pass rusher continues to frustrate opposing offensive lines despite a rough season for Las Vegas, as he's posted 9.0 sacks though 13 games. If he can get one more sack in the Raiders' final four games, Crosby will reach the double-digit mark in the category for the fourth time in his seven-year career.

Walker registered nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 28-21 Week 14 victory against the Bears.

Walker's tackle total was second-highest on the Packers behind Edgerrin Cooper (11). In addition, Walker tallied his highest number of stops since Week 7, when he also made nine tackles against Arizona. Perhaps most promisingly, Walker was able to log every one of Green Bay's 70 defensive snaps after missing the previous two games due to a neck injury.

Parsons finished Sunday's 28-21 victory against Chicago with one assisted tackle and two QB hits.

Parsons reached Chicago QB Caleb Williams on two occasions, but he wasn't able to extend his sack streak to three games. The talented pass rusher still has a good chance of surpassing his career-best regular-season mark of 14.0 sacks, as he's at 12.5 sacks with four games left on the schedule.

Simon posted three tackles (one solo) during the Cardinals' 45-17 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Simon played every single defensive snap for a fifth consecutive game, though his three tackles were his lowest since Week 9 against the Cowboys (three). The rookie fourth-rounder has started at middle linebacker in each of the Cardinals' last five games, coinciding with the placement of Mack Wilson (ribs) on injured reserve. Simon should continue to serve in an every-down role at linebacker for as long as Wilson remains on IR.

Williams totaled seven tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 28-21 Week 14 win over the Bears.

Williams tied for third on Green Bay with his seven tackles. He also posted his third defensed pass over his past four contests. Williams has been steady in a near-every-down role in his second NFL season, registering 87 tackles and five defensed passes (including three interceptions) across 13 games.

McDuffie registered six tackles (three solo) in a 28-21 Week 14 win over Chicago on Sunday.

McDuffie finished fifth on Green Bay in tackles in the victory. He's now posted at least six tackles in seven of his past eight games, with the exception being a Week 9 loss to Carolina when he logged a 33 percent defensive snap share. McDuffie is up to 72 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an interception through 13 contests on the campaign.
